"Hi guys - can't believe that I just stumbled on your site - and even more surprised to see what you are all still up to.......hoping you all remember me - used to be Liz Robb - worked at the EM Club - and you all came by my mums house to see me when I was sick - although from what I remember, it was me and Mairi that hired the chalet to party in when you lot were in Dunoon! Lol! Great memories of great times. Chic - you aint changed a bit x "

"Hey, guys, just wanted to say again how awesome it was to meet you at the Gun gig, I can't believe I played a gig to my "teenagehood" heroes and didnt even know you guys were in the audience. Had a listen to the tracks there and they still sound as fresh as they did when you put them across at the Kelvinbridge Rock Fest when I saw you a couple of times. It was because of guys like you that the rest of us had to work extra hard to become good at our instruments, you were an inspiration to me. I hope the new album is out soon. All the best and hope to see you soon, Roy. "

"Saw Doogie at the Diamond last Thursday and he's as awesome as ever (btw I'm the biggest Rainbow fan ever - never saw him play with them though - summat to do with one paltry gig at Hammy Odeon if I remember rightly...) Keep us in the loop re dates/news for Doogie/La Paz etc please! Happy to head up to Scotland for a gig or two wherever, and if you're reading this Doogie - please come back to the Diamond. Be brill to hear you do a couple of numbers with Rainbow Rising sometime! Whats these performance enhancing meds then?? ;-)"

Still got the Old Habits cassette you gave to me way back in the black & yellow era. Weigh all this hot weather, there'll be Suspicion of Rain... All power to your play guys & hope to see LA PAZ back on the main stage! Cheers EZB (The man in black)"

29-06-09 Innes Campbell

"Hi guys, Spent £30 on a taxi home after the ferry gig thanks to bloody Take That and it didn't bother me ,such was the uplifting phenomenon known as LA PAZ.It was great to here all the old stories and the old songs all of which sounded remarkably fresh.I don't believe (even though you've said so in print) that you guys rehearsed and no-one said "here I've an idea for a new song".Looking forward to the LA PAZ stars falling into allignment once again for a major assault on the album charts££££££££???? GO ON I DARE YOU!!! Hope you and yours are well, cheers Innes Campbell (ACME BOOB HANDLING CO.)1980's van driver"

22-06-09 Chizz

"Chic, I don't get it. La Paz are back/still around ?!? I admit I haven't been around much and haven't spoke to you for about 11 yrs, but, is that line-up back and gigging? If so, then please let me know and when. Only found out about you by doing a random search on Google. Take care, and if everybody else is still around, best wishes. Chizz."

20-06-09 John Meaney

"Hi guys,thanks for a great gig at the ferry last night,It was good to catch up after all this time.I have some amazing memories from my youth of us partying in Dunoon after the em club shows when you were down for 3 nights every month.Great times, it seems just like yesterday !!!!! Until last night they were all distant memories of a misspent youth,until i heard you start playing again and they all came flooding back. Thanks for reforming for some gigs and giving me that chance to relive them."

19-06-09 Gassy

"Nice to see Chic still has that Gordon Smith with the white (retro fitted) head. (distinguishing it from Flem's of course)! lol. I seem to have lost track of you (Chic)25 years ago But I like the sound of this material. I'll try see you in Edinburgh, I live in the Borders but my GF lives in Edinburgh. Still biking and fishing!"

19-6-09 Russ Fleming

"Chick, I fitted a Kahler trem to my white Gordon Smith last year, have you copied me again? Only found out you were playing again today, or would have came to the ferry gig. All the best. Russ "

08-06-09 Alex

"Burns Bar in Falkirk in the 80's were fantastic ! Never missed any of you shows and loved every one. I wonder if Doogie remembers losin a pink tiger stripe t-shirt ? I wore it proudly and recall funny looks when wore it to La Paz show ! Cheers Doogie , well you did throw it to the crowd ! Ta for the memories and will keep eye on upcoming shows "

06-06-09 Graeme Fleming

"hi there i seem to remember seing you playing a blinding gig at EARL OF CRANBERRY pub in paisley around 1988 or have i just mixed you up with another band at the time. see you on ferry on 19th great to have you all back g"

29-05-09 Tom Smith

"A friend of mine passed me this website link and I was truly amazed to find La Paz were on the road again. Here we have a group of people still doing what they love and giving enjoyment out to others. I now live in the culturally starved South East Asia and while my memory is sometimes clouded after eating the mushrooms, I well remember the quite afternoons we had together when the ensemble were practicing for a concert, where we would drink tea and have cucumber sandwiches which always seemed to compliment the electronic style chamber music they played. Just joking good luck guys and keep the enjoyment there."

27-05-09 Steve Sheridan

"Great to see you guys back in business & superb to be able to buy the tracks. I've still got a tape of your set from the Kelvingrove festival in 1988 that Tom Russell broadcast on the Rock Show on Radio Clyde, nice to finally have the songs in a more up to date format for when the tape finally dies!"

26-05-09 Paul McLusky

"Hi Chick; Paul fae The Penetrations here - met you at the Bonamassa gig (boring!) wi Tam. Will try and make the ferry gig. Cheers mate - nice to get in touch again."

01-05-09 Scott Paterson

15-04-09 Scott

"Hi Lads, Ive been looking for your tracks for many years, I remember watching you play in the old Preservation Hall in Edinburgh in the late 80`s and always regretted not buying a tape so I've just downloaded a few and they sound great!!

"Hello Boys!
Good to hear you guys are still around!
I still have some of those old demos kicking around somewhere.
I packed up the music journalism years ago but was amused to find my old CUT review of La Paz still out there.
Please pass on my regards to everyone - will try to make it along to a show, so keep me posted on new dates.
Regards"

22-03-09 John "Spanky" Harrison

"Hi Guys, Just a quickie to let you all know that I'm now accounted for, and living down near Heathrow for my sins... Been here since 1988 and saw Doogie at the Stick of Rock with Midnight Blue all those years ago. I'm playing in a few bands down here but nothing earth shattering. See if you have the tape we made off the desk when we played the EM club in Dunoon? I'd love to hear that again. I remember what a hoot that whole weekend was! Cheers! John"

05-03-09 Dana

Me encantó la página! Sobre todo las fotos... ¡¡Una faceta de McSherry totalmente desconocida!! Gracias por compartirla.

04-03-09 Alan

Hi La Paz,
Great website,
I was wondering if it would be poss to get your tracks onto a cd. (my computer is connecting onto the clips real slow!) Do you have an address I could send to with a cd & p.o to cover all costs. I remember the band so well (back in the day!) and even managed to play/ support La Paz a few times. The Richard Heggie review also took me... I remember how good a gig that was. It would be good to also hear your songs again live.
Many thanks,

02-27-2009 Luis Hurtado

"¡Qué gran sitio! Yo vivo en La Paz - por favor, venga y toce para nosotros. ¡Gracias!"

26-02-09 Emaretta

"I love you Doogie!!"

26-02-09 Ian Alexander

"The Rockers gig was a great gig...not just to hear the songs, but to see the band in full flow. It was a pleasure to have a beer with Dougie beforehand,..and his voice was up there with the best. I'm honoured to have had a jam with Chic in the past and was proud to see you up there showing what you can do mate ! and you kept your promise saying it would be loud ! cheers till the next time"

25-02-09 Tom Russell, 96.3 Rock Radio

"One of the best bands to come out of Scotland in the 80's A pity that they didn't get the deal to enable them to become a lot bigger. Perhaps they can still do it, stanger things have happened."

25-02-09 Ken Morton

"You guys Rock! Caught you at Rockers and was really into La Paz from the first song. Your play list is fantastic! I'll keep revisiting your web site to check on future gigs. A special "Hi" to Chic who I met recently - a (fellow) guitarist I could learn a lot from!"

24-02-09 - Paul McGowan

"Keep up the good work guys. I had the pleasure to play bass with Chic (neat speed) prior to Lapaz- had many a good night-probably bad for my ears though. Who is Jullehama? I am in Finland for the next two weeks. Fantastic web site - Billy Hepburn that,s a name from the past-speak to you soon."

24-02-09 - Girl-in-need-of-rock

"Love the website. The roadburn pages had me sqealing with laughter. More Spinal Tap than Spinal Tap."

24-02-09 - Paul Young

"Seem like a nice, quiet group of delinquents! Rock on, La Paz! (P.S: Chic is like a father to me!)"

20-02-09 - Dougie MacDonald

"Brilliant site! Can I be your roadie when you visit Finland????"

19-02-09 -JulleHamal

"Really good site. I'm glad to see Doogie is still in great form. The whole Glasgow gig on youtube is absolutely amazing...someone bring them to Finland !"
