Competition Winner! Newmarket

Competition Winner! Newmarket

It has taken us literally hours to go through all your hundreds of competition entries to win the opportunity to meet the band at Newmarket (plus a £100 voucher to spend in the official shop) – the level of entries was especially good for this one and thanks to everyone who took part.
Finally though we can announce that the winner is…
Steven Bellis who answered correctly that Newmarket is in Suffolk and thought David Bowie should cover “Someone Somewhere In Summertime“, with his reasons being “I reckon Bowie could cover it in a slow building soulful arrangement (a la ‘Slip Away’ from his Heathen album)”.
He also pointed out that the Newmarket gig is on the Summer solstice so he thought that track was particularly appropriate.
Congratulations Steven and commiserations to everyone else.
