After 2007 GBOB Final at Birmingham Town Hall

Hey,

Just thought wed contact you after last night, I was a VIP representing Gotham Records at that event; me and several others from various record companies from around Birmingham, thought you should have WON that last night. Gary and David (managers of Midas) thought you were the single best band all the way through. The problem with events like this, there's never anyone on the judges that can make a difference to the people that win.- and generally know jack #### about music.
anyway, you did well should be proud- if you still have that fan base and talent in a few years, we all generally said you'd make it.

Kind Regards.
