"From the fiercely traditional to the frankly eccentric."
In 2023 The Islington Folk Club held, for the twelfth year, a competition across the World Wide Web for unaccompanied solo singers. Entry is free and the videos of the performance -- we do like to see the singer -- had to be posted to YouTube and the URL sent to Trad2Mad by 31 October 2023. Former TRAD2MAD winners have already been booked at the club.
The winners were announced at the club Christmas Party on Thursday 21st December 2023 as follows:
1st prize | Anna Bailey | The Factory Girl | https://youtu.be/XfY_pcqle1g |
2nd prize | Rachel Rose | Blackbird | https://youtu.be/OQvcmbJ8vuM |
