And a huge Thankyou to everyone who paid to take part, stuck around to play and endured all manner of technical nonsense. It’s been… exhausting at times :) but the tunes were great and I’m proud of the fundraising! See you in August for LATE WORK!

And that ends one of our most rambling polls! Thanks as usual to everyone who nominated, commented, voted and generally stuck it out. We’ll be back on Friday for the Black History Month special!

This has not been our most popular tournament (in raw numbers terms) so thankyou to those who have engaged with it and hopefully we can spread the word as it continues.

Still a tiny bit of prep to do but it’s NEW POLL DAY - we’ll be starting Black Pop History Month 1973-1977 this afternoon UK time. Expect to get very used to the 🪩 and the 🎷 emoji.

As ever, thanks to everyone who nominated songs, commented, voted, and took the time to join in with the polls! I hope you made some new pre-millennial friends along the way. Results tomorrow and on Monday we start the World Cup Of Four Letter Words.
