English Girls, Approximately-- Welcoming "The British One"

Ok.. not just girls. But I have a friend in England, "The British One," and she sent me the updates from the UK ICCAs. Unfortunately, as I was pseudo-sleeping and MattOOTB was doing doing LIVE UPDATES from the concert... we're a bit late with results. However, The British One tells me she will be writing a review of the show soon... so we will have her opinions later.

Second place: The Oxford Gargoyles (367)
