Hi All,

 

Some may be aware ABC Newcastle is running an OILS cover comp to promote the opening of MOMO expo in Newcastle next year.  The following is a good blog on the progress of the comp.

There are 4 finalists.

 

1.       I’m the Cure.  ( yes a surprise to me but it sounds OK.)

2.       BSM   (can’t find it any where)

 

3.       Bedz        (female solo acoustic version - good effort)

4.       Bedz (different version, male solo version with a few instruments, he got a few words wrong but he is talented.)

There were a few short listed and also highly commended.  I wouldn’t mind seeing the flute players version of weeding cake island.

 

I am not really into OILS covers but this comp has been great for local musos to have a crack. 

 

Have a look if you are interested and you be the judge…

 

Regards,

 

SK
