The poll for Time Machine is now up. What I would propose is this: if the 1960s wins, then have Haven Factor first, as it gives more time to find someone to host Time Machine in the New Year and decide how they want to run the competition. If the multi-decade format wins the vote, keep Time Machine and Haven Factor in their usual slots and have Time Machine run from October until Christmas. Poll here: fatherandy2.proboards.com/thread/102838/haven-time-machine-happens-next

With Lingovision now well underway, I plan to post the details for the Haven World Cup in the next few days. Entries will be open and once full, I will carry out the draw for the group stage. People will be allowed to send songs once we get close to the end of the Lingovision voting period and I hope to have the opening round up as soon as possible after Lingovision has finished.

I have already decided who I am going to mentor in the next edition of Haven Factor. Roo. are you going to run predicta along with the contest or are you going to get someone else to do that as it might be too much work? Quoting a post from a month ago because I didn't see it somehow: I will let whoever won have first pick, then the runner up, then will consider doing both if no one else steps up (which I'm sure someone would).

The next Time Machine is confirmed as a 60s contest following the poll but I won't be hosting. It's still some time away so plenty of time for anyone who would like to host it to put their name forward.

It’s a no from me. Happy to take part, but hosting one multi round contest per year is plenty for me.

Definite no from me , I’m sure one if the 60s voters wouldn’t mind hosting

If no-one else wants to, I'd consider it as I probably wouldn't participate otherwise. But if someone has more interest in running it I'd be happy to step aside.

Alright then! I shall start the ball rolling late Aug/early Sept to remind people to gather their entries, and open things properly in October if that suits? Should still be done well before Christmas in that case (I'm not planning on any repechage rounds unless there is sufficient demand for them).
(Unless of course we were going to try to fit in another round of HF this year - in which case I don't mind waiting until January.)

Not sure, if anybody want be a host, so it's mostly just the idea for the future. "Around the musical Europe". For each round you must select the act from definite group of countries. Eurovision songs are banned, but songs from the pre-selections are OK. Something like this : Round 1. UK, Ireland Round 2. France, Portugal, Spain, Italy Round 3. Belgium, Netherlands Round 4. Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway Round 5. Germany, Austria, Switzerland Round 6. all ex-Yugoslvian countries, Albania, Greece Round 7. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia Round 8. Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova Round 9. Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania If the possible host is not a fan of "Sisters", you can combine 7th and 8th group in one round. P.S : not sure, if anybody want to take smallest countries, but in this case. Andorra, Monaco and San Marino are legal for round 2 Luxembourg is legal for round 3 Liechtenstein is legal for round 5 Malta and Cyprus are legal for round 6

Given sometimes people struggle to find one song for Lingovision, I'm not sure we'd get the numbers for that kind of game...

Given sometimes people struggle to find one song for Lingovision, I'm not sure we'd get the numbers for that kind of game... Selected songs don't need to be on native languages + there are no any restictions for hits. As alternative option - worldwide version. 5 or 6 European rounds + US/Canada + Australia/New Zealand. It's easy. But Africa, South America and Asia rounds seems more harder than Eastern/Southern Europe and possibly very exotic for the majority.

I think I like the worldwide idea more. And if we're opening it up to all songs, regardless of hit status or what language it's in, that does make it more viable.

I like the idea of a worldwide not language specific version. And choosing one for Africa would be super easy for me.

Putting an early call out for a predicta host for Time Machine 1960s, as hosting predicta on top of running the contest will be too much for me!
I can't recall who won the 70s one...?

'Twas I!
(I had to go check.)
I'm still not sure which way round we're hosting these things - is it Haven Factor then Time Machine? or the other way round? - but either way it looks like I'll be busy!

I’m toying with the idea for a game but it’s not music as such related but it can be .
Havens Got Talent
Basically we find a YouTube clip up to 10 mins long of a comedy routine, magic trick, stunt, vocal performance anything that would fit in the show.
All entries go up against each other in 4 groups and we rank them and we also get to use a golden buzzer for an act not in our group if we are playing.
the top 2 golden buzzers acts go straight to semi- final and the next 8 battle it out and the top 2 go through to semi.
Then we have a semi-final with 4 acts and a final of 2.
Whoever you choose at the start you need to keep them all the way through eg Keith Harris & Orville.
Silly idea it would only take a month, I’m on a train and bored lol

^ I could be up for that, something different! Roo. - as far as I'm concerned I don't mind, I was planning on starting Time Machine in October as I won't have time before then, but I could push it to later if you/people in general are up for another HF? I feel like there might be another contest planned between now and then though ( Razzle Dazzle - rock idol?) so it won't be until after that either way...
