Canada has been missing you terribly and we can’t wait for you to come visit us again!! It’s already been 3 years since you’ve been here and the winters are a lot colder without you.
I wish you all the love and happiness in the world, God know you deserve it!
All the best to you and your family,

Birgit from Bingen:
Dear Chris,
God gave a gift to the world when you were born...
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person's need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than himself,
someone who touches each life he enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
because you are a special treasure
for all that you've done.
May the love you have shown to others
return to you, multiplied.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you
as much as I do.
Take care and God bless...! Birgit

Birgit Johansson from Hamburg:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY
Dear Chris,
I wish you a very Happy Birthday! I hope you can enjoy the time together with your family and friends.
You accompanied me and my life for 26 years already. I saw and heard you for the first time in Hamburg in the "Musikhalle" 1982 and the same year again in the "Volksparkstadion" as support for Supertramp and from that time on I was a fan of you and your music. Now my whole family listens to your music and we attended at a lot of concerts during the last years. Your music helped me through a lot of hard times in my life. The times I met you personally you were always nice and patient with everybody. It's not always like that in your business. Thank you for being like you are.
I hope that you will continue doing such good entertainment for so many people all over the world and don't retire like a lot of people your age. Have fun today and please come back next year for more concerts!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY

Dear Chris,
In Germany we say that you are always as old as you feel. If we remember the shows we had the great pleasure of joining this summer, we would not think you are going to be 60 years old, but the calendar says something different!
So therefore we would like to wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! We hope you have a great day with your family and friends and that for the next year and all the years that follow, God will hold you in HIS hand will keep you and support you in everything you are doing!
For people who are blind or partially sighted like us, the 15th of October is an important day as on this day, people who are blind / partially sighted all over the world inform about there needs. May be you have heard about this. But for us, it will always be ¡§Chris de Burgh¡¦s birthday¡¨, as your music means so much to us. It was really funny when we got to know each other and found out that we both have the same feelings about your music. ƒº Through your music, the internet community, we found many friends and people who became quite important in our life together.
We will have a bottle of wine on your birthday, thinking of you and hope to see you again soon! And we hope that you enjoy our present and have fun with it.
Thank you so much for this!!
Love and hugs
Claudia and Willi

Dear Chris,
Your music is now a part of my life since 1986, when I frist listened to Fire on the water played by t. Gottschalk in Bayern 3. It really made a difference! Thank You for that and all the best for Your Birthday - enjoy Your party and have some fun!

Daniela from Osnabrück:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRIS!
60 years of age already... - and for more than half of my life your voice has been such a good friend to me. The first time I heard one of your songs at the early eighties I must have been nine years old...
Your music carried me through all "Snows of New York" - but when I was seventeen, I almost died.
But I did not - I "didn't pay the ferryman". Since then, I love that song even more. Today I'm so glad to be allowed to listen again to your lovely, powerful and even critical songs that it is time for me to thank you for all these years:
Have a wonderful birthday, Chris, may all the ones you love and need be at your side to celebrate this day - and stay this admirable person you are - never give up hope no matter what may come as you are one of those people God has something special in mind for.
Daniela from Germany

Diana from Schlüchtern / Fulda:

Dorothea Keller from Nürnberg:
Happy birthday to you! And thanks you for filling my CD shelf with CDs containing the best music I know within decades! Please stay healthy and don't forget to come to Germany at times! Although I did't attend every of your concerts, I always appreciated seeing you on television! And nowadays there are no young people which I appreciate as much as I used to appreciate for example you being part of our German television culture of the past! I regard your songs for best quality wine and you know: the quality of wine even increases within the number of years! So your songs are already excellent, when they come out with your latest CD, but from then on they become legacy to the later born human beings, that don't remember the past times and only have the strong longing to having been part of that great times their parents or grandparents have seen, when Chris de Burgh made his songs! I pity them! My congratulatings!

Elke Löhr from Bochum:
Dear Chris,
I gave the clouds three good wishes for you to take with them
The width of the ocean
The clearity of the wind
and a lot of sun!!!
My family and I wish you in this spirit a wonderful 60th birthday and a wonderful party!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!

HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY !!
Dear Chris,
it’s hard to find the right words for such a special event. Your songs have accompanied me through so many years and many of your wonderful lyrics remind me of special moments in my life both happy and sad ones. I have also met a lot of Chris de Burgh fans through the internet and then personally during various concerts. It is fantastic to see that your music touches people from all over the world and makes them travelling to your concerts. It’s always a great experience to talk to fans from foreign countries who all love you and your music.
Quoting your song “Read my name” I have to say that you have really made a difference to the world with your incredible music which is so full of energy and emotion. Thank you for your warmth and kindness towards us, your fans.Meeting you personally before the concert in Aachen this year was my personal highlight in 2008. Being a fan for more than 25 years a lifelong dream finally came true in Aachen.
I wish you luck and good health for the coming years and I hope that you will carry on delighting us with your exceptional personality and your fantastic music for many years to come.
I wish you a Happy Birthday and a wonderful day together with your family and friends !! Enjoy it !!
Love,

Monika Maid from Ingolstadt: Dear Chris, It was on a romantic summernight When I found a fountain that looked like a light; Far away from this place where we are today I saw this light And It lightened my way; It seemed me I heard "Fire On The Water" inside When I took a look into it's drops for a while; With the time it became clearer to me Oh, it's like a candle of life what I see!

The next years may your life
be successful again,
May your wishes come true
in every land;
Will you always have friends
to be not alone,
Will your music grow as great
as in the years before,
For sure I wish you health
in the following years
And a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I love you, my dear!

I'd like to wish you all the best, good luck and good health. May this day be the most wonderful day in your life. This year I have seen 3 of your concerts:
- Schwetzingen (do you remember the beautiful sunset during the concert?)
- Hanau (I have only heard the concert from outside) ;)
- Kloster Eltville (This was the most impressive concert of all I've ever seen. "Songbird" without band or instruments was wonderful and the best I've ever heard. Thank you for this very special evening and the fantastic atmosphere!)
At the moment I'm going through bad times and your music will always be a light in the dark! Thanks for all these journeys through space and time! Take care and have a nice day
Yours Petra

Sibylle: Happy 60th birthday to you, Chris! I can hardly believe that I ”spent” 27 years of this period together with you as a fan! In my first concert in the Philipshalle Düsseldorf back in 1982, when you played “Sailor”, I fell for you (which refers to voice, music, songs, energy of performance, smile, jokes, eyes, nose; the running order of this hit list has changed continually during 27 years now, and I’m sure it will go on like this). It – “Sailor”, my ”initiation” – still is my favourite, and (special request) I would love to listen to you singing it a-capella one day! Who knows, sometimes dreams come true! But before this, CELEBRATE, have a FANTASTIC party with your family and everyone who’s close to you!

Siglinde Berndt from Uetersen:
Happy birthday! I hope, I see you again on your next concert in Germany. Then I will sit in front of you. Perhaps it will be possible for you to come to Hamburg?

Never forget you’ve a lot of dedicated fans and you’re a big part of our lifes. But today is your day and it’s time to forget this feelings and tell you something sincerely that you deserve as a great singer and songwriter but, mostly, as a husband, friend and father: I wish you a great and happy birthday, in peace with your friends and your lovely family, a lot of health in order to do what you want and take the chance to realize your personal and professional desires. A big hug Luis Costa

HiChris
Many years ago when my son had just started primary school, the teacher was trying to get the class to understand time. One of the questions she asked them was " who gets you up in the mornings" my son immediatly put his hand up and said " Chris de Burgh gets my mum up and he usually gets me up as well" I must explain that I had a radio alarm clock at the time with a cassette player on it. His teacher thought this was really amusing. Any way Chris, my son is now 31 and he like me is still a fan I hope you have a really special day Happy Birthday Lots of love Gail Jamesx x

Mark Green from Somerset: Happy birthday Chris, all the best to you. Please enjoy the following photographs, taken by myself in the beautiful county of Somerset. They each illustrate your song titles or lyrics in some way. To celebrate this occasion I've put together a little poem for you. It's a poem describing the journey of a river from it's source to the sea - and it flows through 'Chris De Burgh land' on the way! It's a bit like your song 'The Storyman' - it is written to include song titles and lyrics. If I'm right, there are 11 actual song titles here (one is repeated so doesn't count the second time), and 1 album title. 8 songs are covered by way of lyrical references, either direct words from yourself (which I've printed in capitals) or my own way of telling it. Mark FROM A SPARKLE TO A FLAME High in the mountains a spring appears, To meet with other springs, rolling like tears And where these streams of silver go, That's WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW - Further down the mountain-side A man has built his place to reside, It's been a dream of this special man To do this thing, he sang the plan - "AND THERE BESIDE A MOUNTAIN STREAM I'LL BUILD A HOUSE OF STONE" Inside a fire keeps out the chill and warms the man who said "I WILL." Down to where the foothills lie This stream, with cascades, rushes by, On through hamlets quaint it goes and IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD flows. Now through fields and towns it weaves, Slow and wide and autumn TREES ARE CRYING LEAVES INTO THE RIVER As the wind blows through and makes me shiver. Up above it's blue and high - A vast, serene yet LONELY SKY. To a town this water's come On it's banks folk have fun With picnics, boating, feeding swans, Someone's having tea and scones, Lovers on the bank afar Are quite old-fashioned, yes they are, They walk here often in the park But always hurry home for tea before dark. Not a million miles away Some younger folk sit round and play JUST SITTING DOWN HERE BY THE RIVERSIDE WATCHING THE WORLD GOING BY. Further downstream now we go A man-made lake now steals the show And once upon a moonlit night Two lovers came here, had a fight, In fact 'twas only yesterday, Recent, yes, I have to say And whilst he swam she ran away And took his clothes, that made him pay! The bloke had clearly made a big mistake, And was left naked, frozen, beside the lake. LAST NIGHT came the very man Of legend - yes, the Ferryman - The lad all cold and clotheless from The row just mentioned (with nothing on!) Well, he got very, very sad By the quarrel he'd just had And thought he'd end it all, this lad - But out of nowhere came the voices, Strange and un-seperable noises, And so his life he chose to review it, And went with the words in the night "Don't Do It!" Finally we reach the sea, The river here's an estuary, Waters fresh from high in the hills, Now into the ocean spill, Nearby on a golden beach, Just out of the tidal reach Are FOOTSTEPS, so a walk's been done - But why are there two sets of prints, then just one? Cliffs of splenour they abound, A meeting place of sea and ground, LAST NIGHT I TOOK THE OLD PATH DOWN Sadly a place where folk have drowned, But it's THE PLACE I KNEW WHEN I WAS YOUNG - About this place a song's been sung - Relating tales of human starkness, A chilling tale called HEART OF DARKNESS. Here this story now must end - THE JOURNEY of a river from start to end - Out on a rock, out at sea LIVING ON THE ISLAND wild and free Are seals and seal pups, what a sight! Enchanting too on a moonlit night. Well, in the distance from the bay, A ship is leaving, SAILING AWAY, It's part, in fact, of a beautiful scene A heavenly image, warm and serene, A red-orange sun is setting and sinking There's light on the sea as this 'ball' is shrinking, It's nice to be here for now we have caught a glimpse of, quite literally, FIRE ON THE WATER.

Hi Chris
This a happy birthday wish coming from Missouri USA. I moved here about 15 months ago and whenever I feel homesick, I play your songs which have always had the power to soothe my soul, to take me away to a good place. You have helped me through some bad times in my life and I want to say that since the 1970's your wonderful music has been an inspiration and an integral part of my hopes and dreams. I wish you a very happy birthday and many more years of crafting the beautiful sounds that you do so brilliantly.
