Hi friends! This is a rather cheeky way of getting a message to you all - please forgive the intrusion but this is big news and I need your help.

Everyone here has encouraged me and changed the way I feel about creating music dramatically over the past 4 months - you have all started a journey that I am so excited about and I can't thank you enough.

Here are my friends from the Dr. Mindflip band:

I'm currently 2nd place in the Irish group of the EuroMusic 2014 competition. If I'm in the lead by the 10th of May, we'll have a chance to travel to Paris and play in front of thousands! It's genuinly life-changing stuff...

Please vote for me at http://euromusiccontest.com/dr-mindflip and help me have a genuine dream come true - you can vote once per day until the 10th of May and every single little click counts. You can also follow our progress at http://www.facebook.com/drmindflip where we will probably be doing some ridiculous stuff to express our gratitude.

I can't thank you all enough for your help so far - if you can spare 10 seconds a day to click that link over the next 3 weeks, it could change my life. Plus, I'll get to namecheck Weekly Beats live on TV that's being broadcast to (apparently) 88 different countries

Thank you so much,

Patrick / Dr. Mindflip
