Luke Concannon 29/1/10.... Dear friends.... Well it’s been a year since we last spoke. And what a year. A deep adventure, time of turbulence, healing, sadness and resurgence for both John and I, and the FDM family. And it goes on! John and I went walking and talking through the deep wet snow of the Peak district the weekend before last. It was great after our years of busyness, sleep deprivation, excitement and stress to have a walk and a talk for a weekend like the old friends we are..... I explained to him that through out 2009 I had been thinking about Nizlopi and the future and LIFE!!!! And that after many wild meanderings and much confusion I feel I must go on, on my own from here. That my dream is now to do another project, not Nizlopi, and to build a new life. So…this is good bye from Nizlopi. We are no more! Wow, there you go I said it. Scary as it is..... We had a good weekend of walking and talking after this, and though this may not have been Johns central vision, there did feel something right and true about it. We have done great work together of which we are proud, and extremely grateful, to all the hours, sweat, gifts, and anguish put in by our friends, family, and colleagues, we have all invested a lot. And I feel that many people have had a good dance, a damn good time and been touched and inspired through this music. We have just had a hell of a tough few years since JCB broke, and the stress and focus it has put on our differences as a band and label have been huge. We weathered these. And we now find our selves looking at a calmer horizon wondering where we are headed for now..... Thank you to everyone who has come to our shows, and sent messages of love and support, to all of you who believe in us. We believe in you too! And John and I still believe in each other and all we have done, but it’s time to move on, in this very short life, because we both have work to do that we can’t seem to fully help each other do together at this time. We wish you great Joy and luck in your projects. We will let you know through www.nizlopi.com and www.myspace.com/nizlopi about what projects John and I are doing. Great music will be occurring. And this does unfortunately mean that we wont be able to play any special events you may ask us to play..... Oh what a time what a world in crisis.... Being made out of volcanic speed.... A time of greed and need.... Of deep fissures between us all.... And these flowers of hope amid the rubbish heap.... The deep strange story in our troubled chests that seems to shine a light on a possible future.... I know we can make it to the world we envisage.... And to not do so is weak and leaves us all desolate.... So lets go there together forever singing.... That laughter is in us all for the giving.... We’ve gotta keep going to where we know we’re bound.... Straight on brothers straight on sisters!.... Love....

Oh what a time what a world in crisis
Being made out of volcanic speed
A time of greed and need
Of deep fissures between us all
And these flowers of hope amid the rubbish heap
The deep strange story in our troubled chests that seems to shine a light on a possible future
I know we can make it to the world we envisage
And to not do so is weak and leaves us all desolate
So lets go there together forever singing
That laughter is in us all for the giving
We’ve gotta keep going to where we know we’re bound
Straight on brothers straight on sisters!
Love
Luke X

Only just found out about you guys splitting.
Now, I'm aware that you're probably not going to read this, but I just thought I'd leave you a message to say how much I adored your music.
At first to me you were 'the guys that sung that JCB song' - the song which, by the way I would beg my guitar teacher to teach me.. Anything to get away from the millions of Greenday songs!
As I listened to your music more, I found out that there wasn't a song that I didn't like.. Whether I would have a good ol' sing to Helen, force people to listen to Answers, feel summery at Start Beginning or just sit and marvel at how amazing Love Is actually is (the song which I now now I want played at my wedding - regardless of what my future husband says!).
Totally gutted that I never got to see you guys live, but I just wanted to say thanks for all of your incredible music, I sincerely hope that you both go on to do what you want and be as successful as you want to be, you can count on me as a future fan :)

I'm from the States. I never got to see you play. Your song Helen came on my Pandora station, and I fell in love. Nizlopi inspired my own musical project, something wonderful and beautiful and true. Thank you for helping me discover my own sound.
Thank you for all the great shows, music and memories :) you guys will always have a special place in my heart and on my iPod! Best of luck to you - looking forward to hearing about the new projects, Peace & love & dancing, Tara xxx
i can't believe you guys have split up! sad times. Seeing you play in Hyde Park has to be one of my top musical experiences ever. The best of luck with whatever you both go on to do; I'm sure you'll both do incredible things. xx
thank you xxxxxxx
Nooooooooo!!!
Why do u have to leave behind your music work!
Don't know really how long ago you posted the note,and I have actually been reaaaally busy... but remembered you guys and came back to see if you had anything new and that didn't happen...
Your music definately touches my heart... deeply and sincerely... I LOVE your songs... and believe both of you are very talented!
What a sad news to hear you won't bring anything new...:(
But I wish you the best of lucks in what will come in your lives...
Definately will remember such a nice unique mini band:)
Greetings from Colombia!
Hey there, tks for the friendship!
I think you're music is honest and "groovy", seem like a good bloke too .. carry on :)))
there are people in love with your music,
your lyrics tatooed on their bodies,
the responsability of genius is sometimes so heavy,
but please dont turn your back away,
have abreak, feel the love, reconsider,
We,ll be waiting if you change your mind's
Luv
Brendan
This sddens me massively...Our band is really inspired by you guys (check us out you'll see exactly why!) My fiancee and I are still gonna walk out the church to 'Love is...' one of my favourite songs of all time!
May God bless you guys.
Much love
