Congratulations to all of the runners and riders and a big thank you to all of you who took time to listen and to vote for a fantastic bunch of songs.

Now all that remains is for us to find a ~~sucker~~ volunteer to run the March competition

Well done all :)

Cheers

Shame it's a tie and we can't have a penalty shoot-out though!

John,you told me my bribe was winning,obviously that Martyn one made a sly move and sniped in at the last minute with his bid. ::)

Would it be possible to delete this thread,I'll punt you a larger donation,then all will be right with the world?

You know it makes sense. :)

Ta pomps for running the comp,I forgive you for the bribe thing,just don't make a habit of it ok? ;)

If there is a deficit of bods to run the March comp,I'll step up since I haven't for a while.

Post by: PaulAds on March 16, 2019, 06:53:41 PM: Well done, folks...great songs!

Big thanks to John for hosting and for plugging away to keep the whole thing alive.

Post by: pompeyjazz on March 16, 2019, 09:30:16 PM: That Martyn fellah pays good and on time and in used notes :)

Seriously, huge privilege to host but would be great to get some more votes. 17 this month. There were 32 eligible songs. Only one vote from a relatively new member. Ah well, that's the way it goes

Post by: adamfarr on March 17, 2019, 07:32:40 AM: Well done all, a high quality and diverse selection.
32 songs seems few (though some were doing FAWM). But 17 votes seems really few as the site seems to get lots of visitors and I guess listeners. How to encourage a listener into becoming a participant?
Anyhow, John’s hosting was a highly effective job so thanks to him too.
Anyhow

Maybe we should have a song-off in case of a tie!!

What's that?
I should "sod off"?
k ;D ;D
Title: Re: February Song Of The Month - The Winners
Post by: MartynRich on March 18, 2019, 07:59:50 PM: That is a fab idea! Skub and I in a song-off ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: February Song Of The Month - The Winners

I think in case of a tie, those songs should be disqualified.
Things don't have to make sense. Lol.
