It's still ongoing. Several of us still chatting. Feel free to drop in. We'd love to see/hear you in person.

Hi everyone, I'm fresh out of the Friday Zoom meeting when the Great Wheel was randomly spun to gasps of amazement all round. Here are the genres drawn for each challenger. Two each. You can choose either one or the other for your song project.

@Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra : K-Pop or Drum & Bass

@PeteS : Soul or Easy Listening

@Neil C : Techno or Grunge

@PaulyX : Rhythm & Blues or Opera

@adamfarr: Grime or Dubstep

@5 guys named Lars : Motown or Mod

@pompeyjazz : Jazz or Punk

@Paulski: Garage or Metal

@PaulAds : Show Tunes or World

@MichaelA : Hip Hop or Reggae

@CaliaMoko : Trance or Pop

@cowparsleyman : Funk or Rap

@Sterix: Rock or Dance

If anybody else wants to join just let @pompeyjazz know and we will spin the wheel on the next available Friday Zoom meeting. It is not a competition, just a songwriting challenge for us all.

You have until the end of June to complete your songs. @Paulski suggested using the Feedback on Unfinished Songs section of the forum for those of us who might need early guidance on genre offerings that are, by definition, alien to us.

Good luck all, and most of all have fun!  :D
My latest novel: pls check it out!

‘Gavin & The Bodysnatchers’, a quirky comedy crime thriller. Easily found on Amazon.

Just wanted to say a huge Thank You to all the entrants. It was an exciting night. I should have recorded it but forgot. Although there are 2 genres allocated to each entrant, feel free to either choose 1 or mash the two of them up. I've got Jazz and Punk so definitely going for a mashup. Closing date 30th June, feel free to collaborate with others if you want to. Great to see all you guys again. I think it's great that we all seem to know each other a bit more and can have a bit of a laugh  :)

Ha! I sneaked back on and had a longer chat with Sterix and then we had the very good fortune to have @adamfarr show up for a cheeky late chat too...loved that!

cheers to everyone for dropping by  :)

My birthday today so missed most of the chat - but delighted to receive my genre presents (you bastards)! Lucked out to have a great after-hours chat with @Sterix and @PaulAds - cheers and see you next time.
