Bard of Ely’s song needs your votes in the YouBloom Quarter Finals

My song Mañana got through to the Quarter Finals of the YouBloom Song Contest for which Bob Geldof heads a team of celebrity music industry judges for the finals. In order to get through to the next round, which is the YouBloom Semi-finals, contestants have to be one of the top 12 of the 24 entries in the current stage of the contest.

There is a big cash prize for the winner of the finals and a lot of excellent and much-needed publicity for the songwriter and the song. For me it would be a dream come true because it would show the world I can write hit quality songs and would get my material heard by experts from the music business. This is how to really showcase my talent if I can win this.

Of course, Bob Geldof is famed as a singer-songwriter himself, who first made his name fronting the Boomtown Rats New Wave/Punk Rock band back in the late ’70s punk era. He went on may years after to be the man who organised the Various Artists charity single by Band Aid entitled Do They Know It’s Christmas? I would love him to hear my song!

But in order for any of that to happen I need to get through this round and so I need your votes. Please join the YouBloom site and then log-in and vote for Mañana. If you have already done so in the earlier Heat 5 then thank you for your support then. You just have to log back in and you can vote again for my song.

It is also a great help if people share the link for voting for Mañana on your websites, on message boards, or anywhere you can think of. ‘Likes’ are much appreciated too but it is the votes that count so please vote for me and Mañana!
