They will now be able to enjoy his latest release — 'Neath Austral Skies, as we will post them out ASAP.

The Question:

The question that needed to be answered was:

The Answer? Michigan

Many thanks for all those who took the time to e-mail their answers — there was 98% success rate, but the first ten all got it right!

So well done to: Matthew Hill, Steve Coad, Lynda Brown, Stuart Lawson, Lloyd Williams, Julian Ablett, Andy Price, Paul McGrath, Trond Gaupholm and Ronal Krassenburg.
