hi folks, specifically the ladies

today is the last day for entries to the singing competition. we will retire for a while and consider all you have done.

i must say that I've come to enjoy the process, and the spirit in which it has taken place has been very homely. to me it felt like the beginning of the book 'charlie and the chocolate factory', with people checking in from all round the world. if i'd been any good i would have had a huge map of the world with little flags to show where you all posted from.

we will have a good think, and further listens, and we may ask some of you to sing the song you didn't already sing, so that we may hear more of your range and style. (this may take a little while, before we get some of you over to Glasgow!)

A couple of other things...

Be assured that we have been listening to the entries sent by email, even though correspondence may not have been entered into.

Also, that those in faraway time zones were allowed to post during October 1st, their time!

Also, please note, that although the 'media' record for the 'God Help The Girl' group might show that our listening habits were sporadic, we were in fact scouring the entries through a series of pseudonyms! Nothing was missed...

If we contact you it will only be from 'God Help The Girl' though, or a 'banchory.net' email address.

In the meantime, thank you for taking part, and thank you for reading!

I've been enjoying your little 'auditions' tremendously. It's fun seeing where you are all coming from. We've had entries from some faraway places - South Korea, Beirut, Russia, Quebec and a lot from the States. The standard has been really good, and I'm not just saying that. It has been a genuine pleasure to listen to your interpretations.

I must admit at having a giggle at the last note of "The Psychiatrist Is In." It is rather low. But I think it will accompany a rather humorous moment in the film, so don't worry if you can't quite nail it, or if you fall over! It's all part of the fun. And I like to hear your personalities coming through sometimes.

We've been reading your comments too and we'll try to address some of them individually, especially if you are having trouble uploading, or any other part of the process.

We've also had a lot of mail from fellahs asking when their turn will be. Well, sometime, I'd say. I think we'll give you your own song to sing and a separate deadline, so don't think that you are missing out, because you're not at the moment.

I'll be in touch soon to tell you how rehearsals and everything else are going. You never know, we might get in touch with you sooner rather than later just to give you a try out in the rehearsal room. If you can handle that. We're a very relaxed bunch . . .
