“Brit Writers' Awards' 2012 - Do you hear what I hear? by Ken Brown When I was announced as the winner in the Brit Writers song writing category, I said I was amazed because all the other finalists were so bloomin’ good. Don’t believe me? Check them out for yourself. Go on, give your ears a treat. In no particular order… David Harwick: “Kick start your life” - A great pop tune with an original lyrical theme. It’s seriously catchy so you’ll be singing it all week. You’ve been warned. Malcolm Stretton: “Blood on my TV” – Strong hook, strong message, from the heart. Fab video too. Kay Fallico: “Delirious” - A feast of furious, fiery passion, with powerful pop-rock groove.  This track wouldn’t feel out of place on a Radio One play list. Consider the neighbours and turn the volume down a smidge for this one.   Jack Shaw: “Walk Away” - A fascinating fusion of pop, rap and rock (prack?). This clip features his band, Dancing Lotus, performing the song as part of a BBC Introducing session. Doing it for the kids  Jack has also just produced a lovely Christmassy track called “Snowprints”, available on iTunes to raise funds for Barnardos. Recommendation: Buy, buy, BUY! Then impress the family with how cool and contemporary you are by putting it on repeat in the run up to the Queen’s speech. Regrets, I’ve had a few  Mainly not having enough time to speak to more folk at the awards event. It was great to meet fellow finalists David and Jack, but I failed to spot Kay or Malcolm; if you’re reading, do get in touch. And I’m kicking myself for missing the chance to high-five Joel Cranefield, winner of the junior songwriting award. But I’m delighted to have linked up with the young maestro in the Twittersphere since. What an achievement for an 11 year old. Me myself I Can I be excused a wee smidgeon of shameless self-promotion? My songs. I’m planning to release an enhanced version of the winning song - “What love is” - for charity. It features my daughter, Fay, doing a superb job on lead vocals, in my outrageously biased opinion. And I’m working with a local media student to produce a promotional video. Look out for it in 2013.
