The competition organisers are appealing to any songwriter, young or old, who has penned a song that has never been brought to the attention of the public. This could be your chance to let that song be heard by a national audience.

The Lost Songs concept was the brainchild of Ticking Tree’s songwriter ADMAN, who says, “I’ve been thinking for a while that there must be a plethora of beautiful songs that have been...
