All Hail 'The Dark Side of the Moor'!

Now That's What I Call Reet Good.

After a frantic bout of twittering and Facebooking the likes of Mr John McClure, the Leadmill and Pistola Kicks, Exposed's crowdsourced compo, The Dark Side of the Moor (kudos to Mr Brandon Egley for his marvellous title suggestions – this was our favourite!) has been completed, and is up on our YouTube channel for your viewing pleasure!

Comprising a wide variety of songs submitted by readers, Sheffield musicians, venues and, well, ourselves, we asked you to submit a tune that summed up your 23rd November. Thanks to everyone who contributed – you've each won a free cocktail courtesy of Bar 23 so bob us a line to claim your prize.

We're off down Ladbrookes to put a quid on it reaching number one for Christmas, as long as Cliff doesn't spoil everything. Click the cover below to listen to The Dark Side of The Moor on YouTube!
