Subject: RE: On-Line Singing Competition From: My guru always said Date: 17 Dec 10 - 10:16 AM Many thanks Garry! |
Subject: RE: On-Line Singing Competition From: severed-head Date: 28 Sep 11 - 03:00 AM The 2011 competition is now open for entries. The only strict rule is solo, unaccompanied singing. Full details here. Probably of most interest to UK-based catters, but there are no geographical limits in the rules. Closing date for entries is 31st October 2011. Go on, have a go. You know you want to! Garry |
Subject: RE: On-Line Singing Competition From: Mo the caller Date: 28 Sep 11 - 03:45 AM I read that (with a ?????) as one-line singing competition. |

Subject: RE: On-Line Singing Competition From: Gibb Sahib Date: 20 Oct 11 - 06:38 AM Sounds fun. Thank you for refreshing. It would be a shame if this were meant to be "across the World Wide Web" and only a small slice of people within limited earshot knew to do it. Two things I'm not clear on: 1) Is this for English singers only? 2) What range of song style/genre are we talking about here? Like, can we sing blues? Original songs? etc. thanks and cheers |
Subject: RE: On-Line Singing Competition From: severed-head Date: 20 Oct 11 - 09:02 AM The title of the competition is "Trad2mad". This refers to the wide range of material that is performed at Islington Folk Club from the tradition to the eccentric. Any genre/style will be welcome and considered on it's merits. I also believe it is NOT limited to English singers. Likewise it's a "Yes" to original songs, blues, etc. Only strict rules are solo and unaccompanied. Garry |
Subject: RE: On-Line Singing Competition From: DrugCrazed Date: 31 Oct 11 - 09:37 AM I finally entered - I think you've got until the end of today (I entered today anyway) |
Subject: RE: On-Line Singing Competition From: My guru always said Date: 31 Oct 11 - 03:43 PM Well, I've run out of time, there's no way I can enter this year. Maybe if there's another competition next year... Good luck to all who've entered! Any links?? |
