1. The Clash - 'Spanish Bombs'
2. Sky - 'Sahara'
3. Preeya Kalidas, Raza Jaffrey - 'Shakalaka Baby'
4. Brian Eno - 'By This River'
5. Vanessa Mae - 'Destiny'
6. Mark Knopfler - 'All The Roadrunning'
7. Hugh Grant/Drew Barrymore - 'Way Back Into Love'
8. Escala - 'Adagio For Strings'



Voting: Hmm, let's bring back some 0s! Any eight from 12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0-0-0 (yup, up to three zeros allowed!)
Votes to: [MENTION=14505]Lupus[/MENTION] as usual.

[MENTION=11243]ZoboCamel[/MENTION] (so that I can finally be right when I thank you for voting!) [MENTION=14007]lavieenrose[/MENTION] (because if you're putting out mentions you really need to vote here.

Re: London | WV71 Return of the Favourites NF

We have nine voters, so thanks to st ::wscs for voting (in what is probably the longest gap between 6-voter update and 9-voter update in WV History ). Here are the hot results!

61
55
49
48
47
39
39
32

A little spread out at the top, but still certainly within the power of one voter to change the current leader!

Re: London | WV71 Return of the Favourites NF

After all the chaos of the past few days, I think it's clear that the easiest thing to do is declare the NF closed and go with the current winner. Seeing as I originally opened this NF on 30th September, I wonder if I've set a new kind of record by closing it so long afterwards Thanks go (and probably will be gone by the morning... ) to the 13 amazing voters
st ::wscs

Final scores were, by the by:

92
85
76
74
62
53
53
47

Re: London | WV71 Return of the Favourites NF

I alas will not able to attend tomorrow's LL, so just hope that people enjoy the winner of the NF and have a great time there!

Re: London | WV71 Vanessa Mae "Destiny" SF2

London WV71: Vanessa Mae "Destiny"

Re: London | WV71 Vanessa Mae "Destiny" SF2

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
My , am always a fan of violins
I was positively surprised by Sahara as well - I liked that way more than expected, and ended up giving it I think?
Quite sad to see Hugh and Drew so low however


Good luck!

Re: London | WV71 Vanessa Mae "Destiny" SF2

Didn't manage to get around to REJU voting due to the relative mess that this edition has been, amongst some other reasons; I feel a little guilty I wasn't able to support this in WV proper Still, glad to see it was sent, and I'm looking forward to whatever you're sending our way next!

Re: London | WV72 Clues

You'll find out why sooooon(ish) but to wet your appetite for now, I'm going to give you the chance to guess BOTH the artist AND the title!!!! Am I not so very kind indeed? So to kick things off, here are your clues for my artist!
