September is over too soon… and was a particularly good month on the forum, wouldn’t you agree?
It’s my honour to present the shortlist of candidates for Song of the Month this time.
In keeping with the mood of the month in the wider world, I decided to ignore unwritten conventions and rode roughshod over any rules about minimum post counts etc. I just selected five tracks that all struck me as absolute gems. (If you got nominated and haven’t posted many reviews yet, take that as a gentle nudge to keep reviewing).
Let’s keep it simple: please just PM me your fave track by UK lunchtime on Monday 14th.
As usual, you get disqualified as a candidate if you don't vote.
G’luck to all!
