Now my votes are in. (I might have e-mailed them to you too @pompeyjazz .)

Will the winner be honored with hosting the Summer (Camp) Comp? Or is it the World Cup this year...

Thanks for a great challenge!

It's been a blast...a massive Thank You to everyone who got involved  :)

Ok second attemp at posting as I timed out the last time....

I'm sorry to resurrect an old thread but after a long break from the forum I thought I would share the track I wrote for this competition as a way of saying hello (as I never did get it finished in time for the competition...)

Much easier to just say hello I know

Anyway here it is

Land of the Dead -
Caersws boys feed themselves on cans
of alcohol, lighter fluid, anything to hand
searching for the good times in these
love barrens lands
is like searching for the night life
there's none to be found

Hanging on the streets past midnight
rolling our drugs by street light
we're gonna get off our faces
and stumble around this place
Like we're oh ey oh like zombies

Land of the dead
no hopes
no dreams
no love

Hey ! Welcome back Darren - It's been a long time. I thought this was absolutely great - Did you record that at the time and then just decide not to enter or did you do it post competition. There's a great energy there. It reminded me of The Ramones in a lot of ways. Anyway, hope that you're going to be sticking around. All the best, John

Hi hi hi - nice to have you back. I also didn't make the competition in time but I'm glad you posted this! Definitely you with a bit of extra punky sprinkle. See you around!

@Skub @pompeyjazz @adamfarr

Thanks all :) it's has been a while but nice to be back

Thanks for the kind comments about the track. Pompz - I did record this at the time but kept searching for a second verse that never came and so gave up on it. I recently came back to it, took out some bad takes on the vocals and figured I wasn't far off after all and so it here it is.

Looking forward to catching up on the missed tunes  8)

All the best, Darren
