Friends of Miriam Stockley is an official fan club managed by Suvi Kaikkonen, a young woman from Oulu, Finland. Suvi is a long time enthusiast and devout fan of Miriam's work. She has corresponded with Miriam for over a decade. In July 2007, Miriam asked Suvi to organize and manage a fan club. Friends of Miriam Stockley was chosen as the fan club's name.
While Miriam's official website remains her primary online resource for everyone, Friends offers unique benefits just for Miriam's fans. These include 'push' e-mail notifications of significant news items to subscribers and delivery of a regular newsletter with exclusive feature articles. Not to be confused with the Worldwide Adiemus Fan Club that Suvi also manages, Friends is a non-rival organization that is completely dedicated to the music and vocal work of Miriam Stockley.
The Friends of Miriam Stockley Newsletter will be published three times a year and will be sent to members via electronic mail. The newsletter is written in English. Publication dates for 2007 and 2008 have not yet been decided. Although Suvi compiles most of the material for the newsletter, other fans are encouraged to send suggestions or contribute their own articles. Here are some examples of material that will be accepted for publication:
Friends will likely also sponsor Special Projects. These projects will provide opportunities for members and non-members to convey personal messages and/or to collaborate on messages acknowledging Miriam's work.
Friends of Miriam Stockley is the exclusive source for official Miriam Stockley autographs, photos or autographed photos. Details are available by contacting the manager directly.
