Just a suggestion guys as there are so many songs in the competition. Could we have a slightly longer voting period to absorb everything

 Hey guys,

 Soooo Sorry  :-\ .  but I couldn't make the last day of posting, and I've got my solo entry and another collab.   Is there any chance of getting
 them into the comp. ??
 I fully understand if you say no....but I got to ask.  Not so worried about my solo entry, but I feel I've let down my co-collaborators, and i know they would be too
 nice to tell me that.  So, if you all wouldn't mind ??     PLEASE  ;D ;D ;D

 Oh, and a belated Happy Easter to you all ;D ;D .  Have a great holiday @Skub (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20061)  ;D ;D

 .....and a nod from me re PJs' last post ::)

 Thanks, and good luck to you all...

Actually if we could please keep it open another month, I´ve got three more collabs on the go  :o ;D ;D

Sorry, I feel strongly that the deadline is the deadline. I see there is talk by Dogmax of a Summer comp. Anybody still working on things could easily enter that instead.

If things drift, then everyone loses interest.

Plus there are already 16 entries in this one, and voters have a lot to listen to as it is.

I should point out my post was tongue in cheek. I’ve no problem with an extra day or two if people really are just finishing off stuff.

Post by: Binladeda on April 23, 2019, 11:19:34 PM

 No problem folks  ;D ;D

 @MichaelA (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21274) your objection is enough.  I withdraw my request, and do it with a smile ;D ;D

 You are right of course.  I agree with your sentiment......but I had to ask ;D

 Sorry for putting you in that position old chap.  Didn't realise people would have strong
 objections....my bad ::) ::)

@Binladeda (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=18620) , actually I don't mind at all with a short extension so things get put up before the voting is actually organised. It was the 'one month' extension that I thought was a bit crazy as it loses the whole focus of the thing, although I accept Martin may have been requesting this loosely.

Actually I think I may have just screwed Bins request by making a bad joke, so i peacefully and sincerely apologise and request we let Bin get his entries in. This is obviously making the assumption they’re rubbish and not as good as ours (oops, there I go again)

The first 3 week extension was great... Vicky and I would never have managed to get an entry in without it. I think a further one would literally be stretching things a bit...but I don't mind really.

I've got two half songs written for it...and I'll just whack them in finished songs if and when they are finished :)

I don't mind letting bin in,but he's not allowed to win.  :P

Judges’ decision is in - we’re an inclusive lot so stragglers will be accepted till midnight Friday. That’s it though. Time’s up. Step away from the mix!

Can someone put all the entry links on this thread to make them easier to find and listen to.  ;D ;D
