Callum Gilchrist, Richard Cox, Liam Kernaghan, Simon Fraser and Harry Hawke entertained the crowd with a wide variety of music from traditional, to modern, and even a combination of both with Mary McLeod starting off  in traditional form, and transposing into a variety of rhythms and tempos.   The appreciative crowd chose Harry Hawke as the winner with Liam Kernaghan hot on his heels and Callum Gilchrist keeping the heat on.
