Teaser ...


The entries were festive-tastic, the judging was difficult and required several listens (sometimes fortified with a mince pie and brandy ho ho ho) and it proved impossible to select just one winner.

Justin will be making the official announcement in the Newsletter very soon.
Meanwhile, just a little teaser - there will be three winners (well done) and several honourable mentions.

It was great fun.
