Absolutely loving the competition! Big up to all the entries! Personally I don't want the deadline to come as it's great to hear everybody's different style and approach. Yeah!

I've just been amazed by the quality of the entries in the competition -there were quite a few i just sat there listening too open mouthed -wow! As someone whos been playing a couple of years listening to some of the more seasoned players just makes me think I've still got such a long way to go but I've got all the time in the world! And is't it wonderful to hear so many people from so many different places all around the word united by their love of the harp & everyone is so kind!
Just copied what I put in my response to comments on my song and put it here to emphasize what Rob has said.
I guess we all know how important feedback is as a kind of reward for the time and work we put into learning and playing. The entries I've listened to are humbling by the level of excellence - OK, maybe Mark Hummel won't be inviting us to get up at the next Harp Blowout but all of these are easily as good or better than most of the performances I've heard at the local jams and most of the 'gigs' I've gone to watch. Well done!!
