It’s time to get all Smash Hits! on here for this post as I have a signed copy of Ellie Goulding’s debut album Lights, which is out on this Friday (pre-order it here). Ellie plays The Academy on Sunday March 14th and supports Passion Pit the night before.
We wanted to go a bit further with this competition. We wanted to cross internet boundaries IRL (and I don’t mean Chatroulette) to do something a bit different. So we got Ellie to record a video message to you and here it is:
The internet exists in real life! Anyway, to win a signed copy of the album, enter your details here . You’ll be signed up to the Ellie Goulding mailing list but I guess if you’re trying to win a signed copy of the album you won’t mind that too much.
