Just a reminder for anyone who still wants to vote this closes tomorrow at 23:59.

Please could those who have voted in this PM your votes on to me? Not planning to take this on fully but happy to finish off this one.

It’s a shame this has ended. Admittedly forgot to vote in last round but was looking forward to the late 60s!

We’ll see - I may yet continue it if people want. For now shall we say end of this Sunday extended deadline for this one? PM votes to me please!

Only just come across these posts. Would be something I'd like to take part in. Why has it stopped all of a sudden?

Sadly the member who started it isn’t around anymore but I’m happy to finish this one off when I get some time - please PM votes to me!

Oh, sorry to hear that.

 

Have sent my votes.

Thanks - let’s say the final deadline is end of this week then (23:59 Sunday)!

I’ll finally close this at the end of the weekend :)

Thanks to the 7 voters - we managed to pick 38 different songs and it’s very tight at the top!
