    Unlucky @Tim-Time 1888, yi had my vote every song.

    "Now England can boast for the sweet-scented rose
    And Ireland can boast for the shamrock she grows
    But gi' me the land, where the clear water flows
    And the mountains are covered with heather"

    No I can't even blame having a dram on it, I'm not drinking during all of this as I might have to drive and I don't want to let anyone down if I'm needed, so my brain is obviously slowing down just :54:

    :giggle1:



    Except I was to use one of the songs already submitted ... so apart from that your suggestion might have worked :celtman2:

    Thanks for introducing us to an excellent band, but it's time for @Gundog to bow out.


    Congratulations to Runrig and Tide Lines who will now compete in the first ever BOTB: Celtic Connections FINAL!!! I, for one, am very excited to see what is pulled out of the bag and look forward to blasting the tunes and getting lost in the music in such strange times we are living in.

    ​
    To the finalists, please submit me THREE songs which you would like to ride into battle with. I will allow ONE song that has already been used at any point in the competition. Let's * do this!

    And now for a quick note on voting:
    • ALL competitors since the start of the competition form The Jury, the final NEEDS YOUR VOTES, please
    • I don't need a score, just PM me with who you choose as your winner
    • Once the songs are submitted I will post them in the song thread and we are good to go
    • I will post an alert in here with a deadline
    • Cheers, ken.

    Just who wins mate, decide any way you want :50:

    Just need the name of who you prefer from the 3 songs.

    Would be great to add more to it, but at this stage just getting a name off some people is proving difficult. Some, have shared with me their crazy work shifts and/or difficulties just now, and potential lack of voting at this mad time, and I very much appreciated that.
