hristmas is around the corner, so for all loyal fans of Once There Was, I have prepared a little Christmas gift. Where Angels Grow, a track from the upcoming demo, has been posted at MySpace. It's only a rough mix, so bear that in mind while listening. Apart from that,I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

he song All You Are ended up on 6th place in the Singalong competition at CDON (a somewhat misleading name for the competition since it featured original compositions and not, as the name suggests, karaoke-music). Thanks a lot to everyone who has voted, your support means a lot to me! <3

The Christmas Song Competition has ended as well, and thanks to you, the song entitled Christmas Spirit was ranked an honouring 4th place. I'm most grateful to all of you that made it possible. Thanks again!
