Just a quick extra promo idea I had this evening that I'd like your thoughts on please, lads and lasses.

As you can see, the cover photo thing at the top of the page (as expertly highlighted in my doodle) is a generic one I got off Google. Eventually I want some cool original art there, but until then I was thinking that space can be used by you folk. So if you have a new release, a big gig coming up, just send me a suitable picture (appropriate format please! I have no idea how to change things like that) and I'll pop it up there.

Depending on demand, I'll leave it there for at least a week. We do between 35-50k views in a week, so not a bad amount. If this is popular, I may limit it but time will tell.

Let me know what you think anyway, and I'll see you tomorrow!

🏆 Manchester Music World Cup 🏆

Now to decide our 3rd quarter-finalist, with our winners of Group C vs our runner-up of Group D. Group D ended up being a two-way tie for runner-up, so it was my choice to pick. Could be an interesting one though. Will there be an early bath for one of the favourites to win? We'll find out tomorrow (Friday) at 9pm

🏆 Manchester Music World Cup 🏆

Time to find our second quarter finalist! Our winners of Group B finished with the exact same number of votes as their opponents today, so this could be a close run thing. As always, I'll post the results at 9pm tomorrow, and in the result of a draw, we'll have a penalty shoot-out post.

Vote 👍 for Inspiral Carpets

Thanks to everyone who has played so far, and get voting!
