One remark (as always): I think the link of nooms/Jasmine's demise is wrong, it points (again) to the 2nd song in the list (from Digger and Katja)..

Peace, MM

Title: Re: Winner - June Song of the month nominations
Post by: digger72 on July 24, 2015, 06:27:43 PM: Phew - good job i voted for myself! ;D (I didn't by the way - just to be clear.)

Many thanks for the the honour. The song Katja and I had most doubts about has proven our most popular and well received so far. Just goes to show - one man's rubbish is another's...

Well done to all the other nominees this month.

Cheers,

Digger

Post by: adamfarr on July 24, 2015, 06:56:38 PM: Great competition this month. Though slightly depressing that I have so far to go to ever be in the running for one of these at this standard!
Title: Re: Winner - June Song of the month nominations
Post by: Neil C on July 24, 2015, 07:42:20 PM: And I'm officially handing over the reigns to

Digger

And Martimedia will do the one after that.
Bonne chance as they say stay stacking up on the M20 trying to get over to France on the Chunnel.

Cheers
Neil

A really high standard this month, reflected in the voting figures, shame there had to be only one winner.
