Song For Middlesbrough

Posted on April 7, 2008 | Filed under: Music | Tags: Middlesboro | Add a Comment »

With the Eurovision Song Contest happening next month and keeping fingers crossed that this year’s UK entry at least does marginally better than last years disaster… I’ve decided to to a footie&music equivalent of the qualifying competition.

When I heard these two particular tracks I thought immediately of Eurovision. They really do (in my opinion) sound like an entry for Song For Europe.

After you’ve listened to both the entries below I want you to vote and help to decided which one is the Song For Middlesboro !

First up is local boy Ewan Carmichael, who prefers to go acoustic but is with a full band for this song »

Ewan Carmichael – Dancing Out On The Street

- You can hear and download more songs by Ewan on his SoundClick.com page.

Next up is Danny McCoy who makes his living performing as a Bon Jovi tribute act. His song is from a few years ago when ‘Boro were promoted back to the top flight:

» Danny McCoy – We’re Coming Through

- You can hear Danny and his band – Bon Jordi do their version of Living On A Prayer on their Unsigned.com page.

So there you have it.
Now it’s your turn – listen to both entries and then vote below:

Postscript: I found out some extra information about one of the artists, but I'm not going to post it yet because I don't want to influence the vote. I will update this entry with the results and what I discovered after the polling closes on June 1st 2008.

May 24th 2008: The results are in.
