The R&R Cup '17 Finals matches are now up!

Dig in and enjoy.

Please remember -

Voting on the finals will be open for at least 1 week, until i can get back to tally up and post results.

[Thang-y]

I've decided not to vote in the finals - with my form I'd vote pretty consistently against the Dawg and I just can't do it

Will have a good listen tho ..

[Modesty Forbids]

By gob there's some cracking stuff in the finals, or at least in the three rounds I checked out so far, although it appears that one of the finalists is trying not to win...

[fange]

Been loving the finals, some absolutely cracking tunes chosen.

Cheers all.

[Modesty Forbids]

I would have put this in the thread I'm quoting, but I think that would have amounted to thread-crapping

B. 50s rock needs more cussing.

Just because you haven't heard it, doesn't mean it wasn't there...

Thank you to everybody who took part, whether playing or voting!
There really was a lot of fantastic music chosen, and i found quite a few nice discoveries. Cheers!


I'll put up a thread with the lists too in the next few days.

[Stalky the Paranoid Pooch]

Well done fange. The best man won.
But the Best Dog was snapping at your heels.

And three woofs for running the show.
Cheers

[Modesty Forbids]

Yeah, thanks Ange, nicely done as usual.
But maybe a nice rest over the (northern) summer.

[fange]

But maybe a nice rest over the (northern) summer.

You got that right. Cheers.
