Amy MacDonald advances to the final round and Michelle McManus to the wildcard round.

Since this is my NF - I have changed the rules. As well as the second place song from each heat, the best placed third place will also qualify. The 5 highest points for each third placed act were added together. The act with the most points was the Jesus and Mary Chain, so they too will participate in the wildcard round.

Voting is as before: 6,4,2,0

Glasvegas - Daddy's Gone


Runrig - Tir a'Mhurainn


Michelle McManus - All This Time


Jesus & Mary Chain - Happy When it Rains

4 lots of votes so far and the points are as follows:

18,16, 10, 4. So, two entries appear to be racing ahead of the rest.
