aron Gavin came out on top in last night's grand final of the Xbox Songs Of Praise alternative karaoke contest in Dublin's Button Factory.
After several heats in venues and college bars across the city, it all came down to the best of the best, whose every move was scrutinised carefully by judges John McCallion from Warner Music and Hot Press' own Stuart Clark.
Performing The Darkness' 'Get Your Hands Off My Woman', Aaron faced off against James Murphy in the final, who gave an almost-as-stirring rendition of Muse's 'Supermassive Black Hole'.
Aaron walked away with a custom €2,000 Gibson electric guitar, while the winners of each heat bagged themselves a €1,000 Xbox package, including a copy of Guitar Hero III.
The Hot Press Guitar Hero was also crowned on the night, with Sara Ergren being judged the most impressive air guitarist of the bunch!
If you were there on the night, or at any of the heats, you can relive the madness at the Songs Of Praise YouTube channel. And if you weren't, just look at what you missed!
