RUNRIG!!!!!.

6 - 4

MASSIVE congratulations to @Scotia, who might I add, was a fantastic competitor who gave me a very welcome breakdown of his thoughts throughout the comp via PM.

Commiserations to @Lewis1967 who finished runner-up with the fantastic Tide Lines.

Of course, none of this is at all possible without the participation of everyone involved. I really enjoyed hosting this and it was pleasing to hear many of you comment on your enjoyment in your pm's of hearing new sounds and artists, whilst also having a trip down memory lane with others.

I more than understand some jury members circumstances and lack of votes where time did not allow. There are more important things right now to have a moan about so thanks to EVERYONE who took part over the course of the competition.

And with that, I bid you all farewell, and will leave you with a lovely little number from our winners.

Cheers for hosting a awesome comp @Marty McFly

Looking forward to getting on Spotify again tonight and listening back over some of the stuff I’ve picked up during this comp! Cheers guys!

 

Connla was a frickin struggle, I think @Marty McFly was being creative with the rules so I would have a chance and not run out of material or I would have had to forfeit well before I got knocked out

 

Connla, we're one of my favourite introductions during this. Loved them.

 

Well done @Scotia and commiserations to @Lewis1967
