“I would like to congratulate everyone who took part. I’m sure you all know this community is about sharing our music with one another, improving our songwriting and showing the world what you can do. Last year Tony Moore gave me an analogy that if you imagine every brilliant songwriter in the world entering this competition, there would still only be one winner, and I really hope that most of us are able to enter something like this and feel the intention behind it, take it with a pinch of salt, and continue to feel encouraged with their music.” 

Saskia Griffiths-Moore, Founding Director

“I was flattered to be asked to be one of the judges in this very worthwhile competition.
I found it to be it heartwarming to see how many older songwriters and musicians still have something to say and say it with maturity, passion and originality. 
Well done to the winners and well done to all who took part. I hope it was a rewarding experience for all of you and that you keep singing playing and composing.” 

Ralph McTell
