Question for Helen. The BBC link above uses first names (rather than surnames) to catalogue solo performers, so for example, if I wanted to nom something by Sophie & Peter Johnston, would that be eligible here, under A-M for Johnston, or would I have to wait until part two, N-Z for Sophie?

We'll stick with the traditional surnames way of doing these things. So, Sophie & Peter under "J" is fine.

Hello folks.This will appear very sudden folks, to which i apologise.
Could somebody else take over hosting themes as the new host please, i'm bowing out folks. Can't say much..but something has happened just today...and it's thrown my world upside down& i've no idea what to expect.
Very sorry.
I can take over Duke. Hope folks will bear with me while I'm still largely one handed over the next four weeks plus Christmas preparations will also have an impact. And the time difference. But I will manage.I wish you all the support you need in dealing with your crisis.
Take care
x
Val
Best wishes whatever is the problem, theDuke.
Ditto what Jim said, Duke. And thanks, Val, for taking over.
All the best Duke, and thanks Val for stepping in. Edit - Hope we get a few more noms before 10pmTrue Rasta Man - Misty In Roots

Heya folks again. Just wanted to say thanks to val for stepping in..and sorry again for the abrupt notice. I don't to want to say too much at this point, as i haven't yet been fully informed but it's a health concern folks.I might pop in from time to time..but for now...i'm taking a break from things.
Take care folks and hopefully i can return soon.
Hi all, it's me from downunder. Apologies for the delay in putting up the playlist; today has been hectic, as are the next two days likely to be. I can't edit the title but VOTING is now open. It will close around MIDNIGHT (your time) on SUNDAY, November 21.
We only have eight nominations this time around, so I think I'm correct in saying that we each get THREE votes to allocate. Maybe folk can have a think about the back end of the alphabet now (assuming Helen is going to add that as an upcoming theme) and, remember, she has given us some helpful links to assist:

****************************
When compiling the playlist, I can't add TheFoe's choice of The Jam. It's probably one of those titles that is available in the northern hemisphere only. I've added it but get the message "1 unavailable video is hidden". I hope it may still appear in the playlist when you come to view it, but if not the individual link is:

The playlist is at:

So I hope we get eight voters and maybe more. Off you pop.
I can't add TheFoe's choice of The Jam.It's come through fine, Val. Hopefully you won't get too many of these 'unavailable'. Thanks for jumping to the rescue, and my very best wishes to Duke.

Well I think that's it. The witching hour on Sunday night has passed. There were 7 voters for our 8 nominations. It's hard to know whether the whole idea of the thread is waning, or the pre-Christmas malaise is setting in or whether folk just didn't have time to peruse the various possibilities that this theme offered. But we do have a result. Tech takes it out with 11 votes for Misty In Roots. Brass gets the silver for Aswad and TheFoe, Collette and KJS squeeze up on the 3rd place podium - they each got 6 votes for The Jam, The Housemartins and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Congratulations everyone. I shall have to see if Duke's stash of wooden spoons has arrived. Tim and I get one each as no one had any special love for Calexico or Sophie & Peter Johnston.
woo woo! yeah, definitely 'quiet'. 8 for this, 6 for bonnie tyler? everybody got lives, so who knows, but quiet...........................too quiet!
Every Peel session band I wanted to nominate was after M in the alphabet.
When did the forum become reggae central?
