I'm not sure how I came across this, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention. I'm pretty sure we have a few members in the right age group! There are several categories. The one I've singled out is for solo musical performance (obviously!). You have to record a video and upload it to their website before 19th March to enter. The entry fee is a fiver. Any road up, there's no point in my expaining it all when the website explains the whole concept here.I carefully checked whether a cover song is OK, and it is, or a self composed piece or song. How they handle the copyright issues, I have no clue. I think I'll do it. Anybody else?

The shortlist for musical performance pieces has now been released, and I'm not on it. But... I did get highly commended, which has made my day. I entered a video of my arrangement of "If You Go Away" by Jacques Brel / Rod McKuen. Some of you fab people helped me with that, in fact ocarolan made a comment that made me change the ending. So thank you all. I know this is just a little thing, but I'm bloody chuffed to bits! If I can get highly commended, I'm damn sure that someone on this forum can get shortlisted or even win next year. There's so much talent among the members here. I'm going to go and do a little dance now.
