Get in there!

Some seriously ****ing stiff competition, and I'm also the youngest person by a couple of years as far as I can see...

Nice thing about being the underdog is that you have nothing to lose I suppose

On after me? Ye fecker

For preference I play DC10/CircoLoco style stuff. Had a look at the bigorange last night and that, wouldn't be terribly far off what you play yourself when I'm out and about.

Sorry, got you mixed up with Kevin Fanning!

Who's opened for Da Hool, Justin Robertson and Jape.

You're the resident in Horans? V.Nice set of names you've played with; O' Callaghan and the ilk. Would be about 10bpm below you most of the time, and nowhere near as hard in terms of what I play.

The guy on directly after you (Miguel) seems to have a residency in the Dragon and has opened for Boy George and a few other highish profile bits and pieces.

As I said, stiff enough competition.

Ireland is absolutely hilarious for this kinda **** :rolleyes:

Just scoping out the competition, I'll put money down that Gonzales and Fanning will take 2 of the 3 slots on the night, but should be a bit of fun in any case.

Ah ****e, missed the deadline, wasn't open for long anyway

Goodluck to any of yous in the final, great oppurtunity right there for the winner.

Chloroplast

Aye, I was wondering that alright, Not sure if Brian was the overall winnder but as he had got a slot there I thought he may have been the winner. My bad.
