Well done NickD , if you get a picture sorted and send it to myself or Skol we’ll set up Fir September

As long as the song gets posted here before the voting thread goes up , all is good 😎

Mines about ready , dont be too cruel , its been a busy month and Ive got a few days leave to squeeze in, I'm not sure I could get away with cancelling the B&B for a few days to get this into shape but never the less enjoy Oh for the cute factor I got Albus , my 5 year old grandson to contribute , he doesnt know he has but I tried to teach him a bit of a foreign language, and recorded it !

Not if it’s all done this month dude i could be tied up with the grandson, but I’ll set an alarm 👍

When can we see the streamed gigs Msr Smalls ?

I am still hopeful that my entry of the opera singer will hit the spot . though I suspect not

Well , I had a lovely conversation with a neighbour today , and , knock me down with a feather , she is a singer. After a few vocal lubrications it would appear that she is very competent at “nessun dorma” and “barbie girl” so, I’m off to write a cheesy pop schmaltz-aria .....in french dont hold your your breath mind

Its time to start the process for August and for your inspiration we have this poster and intro from last months winner @xgsjx "I got this poster about 6 years ago & since then, I’ve seen it In the background everywhere, from films to Cafes. I think it could provide a good variety of inspiration, depending on how you look at it. Cheers " rules then I suppose ....... ✔️ Entries must be <5 minutes and written/recorded this month. ❌ No illegal samples or other funny business. ❌ No bagpipes. Ever. The Fat lady will do her bit around midnight on the 24th have a good one

One thing I found with the condenser mic is that you get the recording room ambience thrown in , so the reflections and reverbs are recorded in your ‘dry’ vocal, if this doesn’t fit with the sound you need , the wardrobe is your friend

It normally embeds itself , I just copy the page address in the bar and paste it in the thread post , job done , not sure why it wouldn’t got you ?

I’m not sure of Joe Jackson’s medication when he sees pretty women out walking with gorillas down his street!
