Dub Rocca wins Artful & Kal Lavelle remix competition

A couple of months ago I brought you information about a competition that Artful was running for his latest single, which features Irish singer/songwriter Kal Lavelle. The remixes flooded in, with some smashing attempts along the way, but it was Dub Rocca's Drumstep take on the song that has gone on to take the title. The young producer now gets the chance to have his mix released and promoted as an EP, and will get a chance to remix the next single, with the possibility of spending a day with Mark in the studio. A great remix, especially the second half.

Antonio Lulić - Never or Tonight

Here is my favourite piece from Antonio Lulić's new freEP, Rough, which was released a couple of days ago and was recorded in one day with the ever brilliant Kal Lavelle on backing vocals. The EP takes the live sound of 3 of Antonio's most popular tracks, along with a cover of Foy Vance, and puts them down on tape for your listening pleasure. This guy has such a unique vocal tone and is a simply incredible songwriter. You can download the tape for free HERE and can find Antonio on both Twitter and Facebook. Also, catch Antonio at a couple of the remaing Ed Sheeran gigs this month.

Artful - Could Just Be The Bassline (Feat. Kal Lavelle)

WIN! Ed Sheeran & Kal Lavelle End Of Summer Tour 2011 Signed T-Shirt

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the day/night with my lovely friends Ed & Kal on the last leg of their Summer Tour in Preston. I've seen Ed play countless gigs over the past 2 years, but last night was really special, seeing him go back to the 150 (ish) capacity venue days and being able to connect with every single person at the gig definitely meant a lot to him - also, they were the most respectful crowd I've ever seen him play to, being completely silent on the slow songs and going nuts when they were asked to. Anyway, on my way up to the venue I was trying to think of the best possible way to celebrate the success of the tour, and this was it; a competition where you get the chance to win a signed t-shirt by both of them from their last gig together (not EVER, don't worry).

COMPETITION CLOSED!

There were over 600 entries overall, but only 11 people got the answer correct to the question below:

How many Little Martin Guitars does Ed own?

About 95% of the people who entered said 2, Lloyd and Nigel, which is correct - but he has two more,
which makes the answer 4 (proof below for those who don't believe me!)



Received some lovely e-mails over the past week or so, and if I had a t-shirt to give everyone then I would, but there are only 3 available, and the names of the 3 winners are as follows:

1st: Toni Harris - @ShakeThatToad
2nd: Mike Roskell @roskellmike
3rd: Sofie Hawker - @sofiehawker95

Could you 3 please e-mail me back with your full name and address, and I'll get the t-shirts out to you in the next few days:

Big love to everyone who entered, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for another competition sooner, rather than later.

Also, there is some exclusive stuff coming up on my blog in the next month, so be sure to stay tuned...

Be good,

Tom x
