My thanks to Matthew (who placed second himself in 2012 - IIRC (or was it 2011?) - for a brilliant song!) for being so kind as to post his congrats here - since Vikki Fielden and I happen to be the same person... and to Guest, maggi.

Scores of the songs don't get published, although there is a link to the 2011 winner (Jerry Simon) singing his winning song on the JBC facebook page (see link in my post above) (and there's even a pic of me with Shepley heat JBC judges Elly Lucas and Damien Barber - for anyone who's curious about what a Yorkshire Yankee actually looks like). There's a chance that - eventually - there may be links there to my and Kirsty's songs as well... maybe.

However, anyone interested in hearing the winning songs can PM me; a friend of mine recorded the entire final and I can send you an mp3 - and would be happy to send along words as well.

As for Kirsty's song, I wouldn't take the liberty of sending it along without her permission, of course, but I can easily get in touch with her to see if she's OK with that.
