WIN: Robyn G Shiels albums

robyn g shiels One of the finest records we've heard this month (and November has been some month for quality releases, surprisingly so given the encroaching ranks of greatest hits compilations), Robyn G Shiels' A Lifetime Of Midnights has lit up the DiS stereo like some kind of square-ish plastic-and-buttons Christmas tree. So good is it, in fact, that we've grabbed three copies to give away to you, dear readers.

Released through Belfast-based No Dancing, A Lifetime Of Midnights (reviewed here) is Shiels' debut, following a well-received split seven-inch with Desert Hearts. One for fans of Will Oldham, Elliott Smith and Cat Power, the record is something of a classic in its 2005 field. Words born of whiskey and worry, of heartbreak and hassle, are complemented perfectly by understated piano and guitar. It is, in short, a quite beautiful record.

So, want to win yourself a copy? Just answer this:

What was the (famous) final score between Northern Ireland and England when they last played football against each other, earlier this year?
