Album: The Love Album (Group thank you's) - 2006

To start us off... We would like to dedicate this album to the most important people in our lives and thank them for their constant love and support in which they continue to give us day after day.

Album: Face To Face - 2005

Hey, Hope you're well, hope you enjoy this album. Thanks to everyone involved making it. I had fun singing all of your songs! Thanks to whoever bought it, hope you didn't burn it!
Thanks to everyone who has supported myself and the band in any way.

Take care of yourself!
Mark. Xo


Album: Allow Us To Be Frank (Group thank you's) - 2004

This year we would firstly like to thank our Mums and Dads, our close families, our wives and our loved ones, for their continuing belief and their unwavering support: Without them we would not be Westlife.
Special thanks, as always, are reserved for our manager, Louis Walsh, who has been there for us, from the beginning.

Simon Cowell continues to be an integral part of our career development and we will always be indebted to him for his astounding insight. Similary, Sonny Takhar, at S Records, merits particular praise for his unswerving belief, right from the start. Sonny's tireless assistant, Dan Parker, has a very bright future.

The continally high production standards achieved on all of our albums are down to only one man: Steve Mac. As this album will demonstrate, Steve posesses an outstanding ability to adapt his unigue skills to any project. He is ably assisted by his resolute engineering staff, Chris and Dan.

BMG Records has once again come through for us on this album and therefor we have to personally thank Tim Bowen, Ged Doherty, Jacqui Quaife, Annette Millar, Tony Fletcher, Dave Shack, Roger Jacobs, Nick Bray, Leighton Woods, Tanya Govender, Alex Crass, Nick Ralphs, Jon Davis, Dan Ayers, Nikki Watkins, Sarah Vaughan, Roma Martyniuk, Sharon Ashley, Tina Christoforou, Yoel Kenan, Mike O'Keefe, Neil Boote, Brian Regan, Steve Reeves and all of the BMG family worldwide.
A big thank you to Alan Edwards and Stuart Bell at the Outside Organisation for all their hard work on Westlife's PR.

We also greatly appreciate the efforts of our 24/7 team who live and breathe Westlife: Jake Duncan, Dave Last, Ben Mahapi and Faye Sawyer.
Alan McEvoy and Liam Murphy, and all their staff at Livewire in assosiation with Anita Kissane and her team at Price Waterhouse Coopers, work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our show on the road.
To Joanne Byrne and all at Prescence P.R in Dublin... thanks a million.
Today's music business is indeed a complex world and we are fortunate to have Richard Bray and Nick Hart to steer us through the legal maze.

Live touring is an extremly satisfying aspect of our careers; consequently without John Giddings and Steve Levitt, we would be unable to maintain our reputation for spectacular live shows.
Our three lead promoters present those same shows to a high standard: Bary Clayman at Clearchannel; Denis Desmond and Caroline Downey at MCD and Jim and Peter Aiken at Aiken Promotions.

We are proud to host our own T.V special, 'You're The One' this Christmas and for their supreme efforts in making this possible, we thank Nigel and Siobhan at Syco TV.

As always, Jeff Thacker has given us his considerable array of un-named support staff - touring and otherwise - who have all done their bit to ensure that we are where we are today: we are indebted to you all. You know who you are. We're very lucky to have you.
Lest we forget, this album has been inspired by a gang of legendary guys. We wish we could have personally thanked Frank, Dean, Sammy Davis and Joey. Where ever you are right now guys, have a drink (or three) on us!

As we all know we were once five, but now four and therefor we would like to say a special thanks to Bryan for the five years of his life he dedicated to us. We wish him all the best in the future with his family, life and career. We look forward to seeing him at one of our future shows.

Finally we save our closing thanks for our legions of fans - of all ages - all around the world, who have stood by us for almost six years: welcome to the start of the next six!

See you all on the "Live 05" tour.
Kian, Mark, Nicky and Shane


Album: Turnaround - 2003

I’d love to be able to write the perfect “thank yous”, without forgetting someone or stressing out about what order different people go in and basically ending up writing a short novel… but I cant! So instead I’m just going to say thanks to everyone involved in the making of the album: producers, writers, engineers, the massive A+R committee, Sonny, Louis, Sophie, Dan and the Record Label. Simon Cowell – well done in your new career. Especially Steve Mac, Jake Duncan, Dan, Chris and of course Shane, Kian, Nico and Bryan who all spent most time with us on it! Also Dave&Co for being there on this album. Secondly, you – who bought this album, the “fan”, thanks for supporting it, I hope you’ve got value for money and more importantly get some good quality listening out of it! – Thanks! Leaving the most important ‘till last – my family and close friends especially. Mum, Dad, Barry, Colin, Rowen, Nana Feehily, Nana Verdon, Snoop and Ozzy, all of this is dedicated to you. You’re the ones I go home to at the end of it all and none of this madness makes any sense without you – I love you all dearly, thanks. Love and thanks to you all. Once again, sorry if I haven’t mentioned you on this but you know who you are, so if you’ve been involved – thanks. Here’s another one… hope it’s a good one!
Thanks, Mark x

(P.S. Believe in yourself, or nobody will believe in you!)


Album: The Greatest Hits Vol. 1 - 2002

To you who are reading this, who bought the album. Ha, Ha! This is crazy the Greatest Hits So Far! Already! I can still clearly remember signing our Management and Recording Contract like it was yesterday – feeling nervous, and a little scared at the thought of what was about to happen – or if it WOULD ever happen for us! I had just turned 18 then!
Didn’t have a clue about the music business, had never really travelled out of Ireland and was as shy as you could imagine!....
.... four years later, at 22, I’ve learnt so much, travelled around the world many times, met so many amazing people, seen so many amazing places and things and got to live many of my dreams as a reality! I feel so lucky and I wish I could write down the names of each and every person who offered any sort of help or goodness or support to me or the band, but obviously that’s not going to happen so instead I’m just going to say ‘thank you everyone!’ Fans: thank you for playing your part, whther you’ve played a small part or big part in getting me and the lads to where we are today! I am so grateful and whether you believe it or not – I really do aprreciate you support! Enjoy the album, listen to the songs – they’re made for everyone to enjoy and I hope that’s exactly what everyone does when they stick it on! Thanks again, Love Mark. To my parents, brothers, family and friends: it is very important to me that you all realise that I could never do this on my own. I am the one everybody sees in the magazines, hears on the CDs but without you all (you all know who you are!) – I’d be lost, truly lost! All of you are the real stars, and never forget this! Thank you, with love as always! Mark.
To Shane, Kian, Nico and Bry: no one can ever take away what we’ve achieved. We’ve made history, broken records, sold millions and most of all – had the most amazing experience whilst doing it – I look forward to much more of the above in the future and will never forget the amazing time we’ve had ‘so far’. Here’s to the future, thank you! (PS. the grudges make us stronger – who’s really laughing!) To everyone at BMG – I’m quiet and don’t always talk as much as some do! But it’s also very important that you all individually and collectively realise that I feel very lucky to be with such a hard working, dedicated label and you’ve never once failed in making us successful and at the top of our league – as a label and once again and probably most importantly – individually – you are all at the top of your league and I thank you all for working so hard for us! And taking this young, Irish lad and making his wildest dreams come true! Thank you. (And apologies for my tardiness! – It will get better)
Louis: you’re a nutter and an absolute genius at what you do and very funny, but most importantly, you’re the man with a vision who plucked me and the others from obscurity and moulded us into what we are today! Thank you – much respect goes out from me to you and your amazing talent! Anto: it goes without saying that Westlife’s day-to-day stuff would fall asunder if you ever decide to leave! You’ve been here from the start and play a huge part in the success of the band! Thank you for always being there and for putting up with my bad time-keeping issues so calmly –Ha! Thank you for being a great friend too! Paul: I don’t know how you do it but you do! I know how we do it though – and it’s definitely not without you and all your merry men! There’s no doubt in my mind that you are the best in the world! Thank you for doing more than your job asks and being a great friend as well as minder! To anyone I’ve forgotten – it’s not my faut I’m stupid! – Sorry! Erm... What more can I say! Thank you I suppose! To all my fans: the first paragraph was aimed mostrly at you but I just wanted to add this... Always be proud of yourself and understand that it’s your individuality that makes you beautiful.

Thank you – love always Mark.
