Voting for the Covers fest seems to be headed for either The Everly Brothers or One Song fest. I don't know how people can vote for One Song fest when they don't yet know what the song will be. I think that's a critical question in deciding whether to vote for One Song or not. So I've created this poll to choose a song.

Please, everyone vote for your favourite song now so that a winner can be chosen before the festival polls close. Even if you're not voting for the One Song fest, please vote for the song you'd prefer if One Song should happen to win. If it doesn't win, the winning song will be used as the theme the next time One Song Fest comes up in a future poll.

Here are some YouTube videos of the songs:

The winner is

Missed the vote but what a cool winner.

Might have to have a go at this.

I moved house about 6 weeks ago, no shed anymore, most of my gear still packed away, I have plans for a new shed but that will be next year, might have to try a LITLR type thing.

Crikey it won with 4 votes . . .

Don't know the song and not particularly inspired by it.

I think not having The Lion Sleeps Tonight by Tight Fit on the list was a mistake.

Well see...

Those are both excellent reasons to give it a go.
