    More than half the votes are in, thanks so much guys, really appreciate it, as I'm sure the competitors do too.

    Message to the rest of the Jury:

    As The Bruce once said

    "you voted in the quarter finals... now vote in the replays"

    PS - both the ties are still draws :s:

    Thanks to those who managed to get a vote across for these ties to finally separate them, much appreciated.

    Now, on we go, it's Semi Final time.... draw coming up for Runrig, Connla, Tide Lines and The Dubliners.

    And here is is fholks, the draw for the semi finals:

    Runrig v. The Dubliners

    Tide Lines v. Connla
    For those involved can I get ONE* song from your artist you think will get you into the final, please.

    *due to the genre, I know there are limited options on YouTube so feel it's only fair given I will want 3 songs in the final

    ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

    Semi Finals!!!

    Battle of the titans in tie number one, and its :scotland: v :ireland:.
    Please remember to base your vote on the song of course, and not yer allegiances, ken. Two incredible artists, but only one can reach the final...

    And in the second tie we also see a cross border challenge, with two lesser known artists than the other tie, but nonetheless, fantastic talent! (just what I was hoping this theme would demonstrate). Who is going to advance for the chance to be crowned BOTB: Celtic Connections winner??

    Voting:

    Members of the Jury, can I ask that you all please submit votes for the Semi Finals and let's give these guys the best battle possible as a reward for reaching this stage. I would very much appreciate it. I am imposing a 48hr deadline to hopefully get the final kicked off on Sunday. Competitors still inolved are free to vote on the other semi final tie too.

    Songs in the song thread as per usual, to vote simply give me the NAME of the artist you feel wins the tie. No scoring, just the winner.

    Many thanks :50:


    Voting Deadline : Midnight on Saturday

    Only 7 out of 16 folk bothered voting fs. The amount of effort Marty has stuck into this deserves better than that.

    Didn’t vote on the playoff yesterday. I must overlooked the tag due to being focused on Mafia.

    Apologies Marty.

    I’d have definitely voted if I was aware of the deadline as I know the amount of time this consumes when hosting.

    Votes are in for the semi finals and will be for the final also.
