Hi all,
it's time to make some changes !!
Your opinions have been incorporated where possible. Obviously it won't be possible to use every idea in full since some of them will conflict, & because I don't like some of them :biggrin:.
Anyway, please find below a proposal for how the boards will look. This isn't cast in stone, but I'd like to think it's pretty close to the final version. Constructive criticism only, please.
I'd be grateful if JonG would refine the ideas I've roughed out and make any suggestions for suitable sub-genres & example artists. They need to be fairly inclusive suggestions though, so that the board doesn't become too narrowly focussed.
Other than that, I'll be interested in your feedback...
