    They were on the Ray D'Arcy show this morning.

    Needless to say Ray is a skeptic and didn't at all humour any notion of psychic or paranormal phenomenon.

    Someone should mail the show and directthem here ;):D

    I went to see them in limerick last month, colin asked alot of questions and alot of his readings didn't seen to connect to anyone in the audience. Then again I spoke to him after whilst they where signing autographs and he told me a few things which did make sense to me so its pot luck really.

    By the way Tony is excellent!

    I should look to see if they're going to be in London sometime, though I'll need to see if I can afford it first :o

    Went to see them Tuesday. It was just Colin Fry & Tony Stockwell, I imagine the "guests" they refer to are the people that cross over for a visit with the living.

    No one came through for me or the people I went with, thats ok cause I know that they're there and I suppose the people from the audience that had visitations needed someone to come through for them.

    Well I thought it was good but I reckon they rely on messages from the living alot more than from the dead. Sorry I'll try to make myself a bit more clear;as an example Tony was asking the audience if anyone had lost a male about 27, no answers, he then went on to say that this man was 'discovered' in a wooded area, or a place with leaves, still nothing. He had a few more tit bits of information but it was a long time before anyone put their hand up. When someone finally did Tony asked some questions and got alot of yes answers. Now I don't mean to come across as sceptical but it dosn't take a psycic to know that if someone was murdered it was probably drug related, yes, and if someone takes drugs they probably push them too (to feed their own habbit) again this was true, and is he tatooed? Well what dealer isn't? I just thought he was very good at reading the living rather than comunicating with the dead.

    They were very good and I had a really nice evening because it was something differnt but I came away thinking I'd sooner pay €30.00 for a private sitting than go see them again.

    Yes, it came to me yesterday thats what it meant!!

    I went to teh show last night and wasn't that impressed. I was disappointed no one came through for us but it was more about the fact that the show i went to last year was so much better. Colin Fry spent about 15 mins at the start talking crap then only did about 2 or 3 messages. then Tony came on againg like jimmidy cricket mentioned fished for information. He spent about 5-10 mins talking crap but he passed on more messages than Colin. Then at the end the two of them just seemed to be plugging their books and their english gigs. Their show seemed a lot shorter than last years and they wouldn't let you ask anything really afterwards when they were signing. Even at the signing they were a lot friendlier last year.

    i will admit though that the messages that did come through were very good and it was enjoyable to hear them and see the joy on the people's faces. You could really see the emotion on the lady who was sitting on the balcony. There were a couple of times that our hearts jumped into our mouths though the first person to came through gave us a shock, at first the story hit home with us but then obviously as it developed it wasn't.

    My aunt i think actually said that when she was in the queue she heard someone say it to colin that last years show was a lot better and that he started whining about been tired.

    please post your views on what you thought of the shows, i'd really like to hear other peoples experiences of it. did any of you get a reading?

    I thought they where ok to talk to when I was queing afterwards but i heard that at other venues there was a man pushing people along so that they couldn't ask them anything.

    I took a photo and showed it to them what colin told me was very clear and i understood it completely just sorry i didn't have time to talk to tony that night!

    I think people who really want a message expect alot more from it and are harder judges. I was at last yyears too. I have to say last year was better in regards to how it was presented but the messages this year where alot better. The big difference with these guys and Acorah is that they seem to get a better idea of the part of the audience the messages are for and they dont back track or take back anything they say, they are committed.

    I did think last night that i wouldnt go again as I dont think i'll get a message through myself, and i dont need any more convincing that these guys are genuine.

    With regards to plugging their books, why the hell not, they are not monks serving a vow of poverty, people seem to expect them to work for free which is rediculus.

    Tonys book is a great read so why should he not give people the chance to find out more?

    i dont think people who havent seen them personally should pass judgement on them, but of the people who have seen them i have a few questions:

    1) do you think anyone who got a reading was a plany?

    2) where you impressed with the detail and the accurasy of the readings?

    3) would you need to get a message urself to be truely convinced?

    I didn't expect to get a reading but just had hoped this would be the time my gran might come through as it's been a tough year for our family with various things that have happened to our family and it would have been really great to hear from her. Alas, it wasn't meant to be! I guess by us getting lost on the way up and getting there a little late was her way of telling us she wouldn't be there!!

    I went with an open mind and I'm not saying I wish i hadn't gone, I guess just after how much i enjoyed last years (i didn't get a message then either!) i had expectations. I thought they buzzed off each other last year a lot more. I can't quite put my finger on what i found was missing

    Mandz,

    I know what you mean i always hope that my gran would come thru to me and i really wanted my dad to come thru to me this year, i was disappointed after coming out but happy for the people who's loved ones came thru to them it just wasn't to be for me.

    But if you really do want a message from your gran i'd advise you to go to a medium with a good reputation find out thru boards of good reputable ones in your area they may be more expensive but at least your getting a one to one reading and most of them record it for you too.

    Good Luck and i hope you get what your looking for from your gran! But remember shes always with you.;)

    Plany? Is that a plant? No I don't think anyone in the audience was a plant. I think they were all genuine, there was however, one lady that was humming and hawing, sort of agreeing without knowing to what. I reckon Tony had a message for someone else and she just connected with the first thing he said and sort of went along with the rest (not his fault, she was obviously desperate for someone to come through for her as her friend sitting next to her had a reading from Colin Fry)

    I wasn't overly impressed with the accuracy of their readings. I thought Colin was better than Tony, can't put my finger on why. I thought Tony really relied on the living to work of. He seemed at a loss until someone put their hand up, and then he seemed to build from their answers. Its very difficult to explain this in writing sorry.

    Fianally, no I wouldn't need a visitation or a message to be convinced, they are gifted, without a doubt, but if I knew how to channel the images in my head I'd be gifted too. God that sounds a bit sixth sensey (as in the movie) what I mean to say is I don't need either of them to tell me my loved ones love me and that they are happy, I know they are, I know the're looking after me, I know they'll be there when my time comes.

    I agree that anyone who hasn't seen them should pass judgement, they were good, but I think going to a one on one medium would be better. I would imagine alot of people in the audience were really disapointed when no-one came through for them, like I said, I didn't really mind but if someone was planning on buying tickets to go see them solely because they want their Nana or whomever to come through then I would recomend they'd be better off with a (Good and recomended) one on one clairvoiant.

    Just my 2 cents
