POLL WINNERS A HIT FOR THE BOSS' DJ
Simon Peters who is well known for his Golden Oldies' spot also at the Intercon made second place in the DJ category. Other votes in this section went to Sounds Seventies DJ Jimmy James and another Intercon DJ Marc Roberts. We received a large number of votes for Jimmy James and several for Simon Peters but unfortunately we had to disqualify those in fairness to those readers who sent in their votes within the time limit set for the poll. Other Sections In other sections voting was substantially lower and there were no votes at all in the category for best performance during the last 12 months. Haze', the Harrogate group and the Knaresborough group F Troop' tied for first place in the best group category. Haze' guitarist, John Knowles and F Troop' drummer Andrew Rathwell tied for first place in the best musician' category, Dave Hope of Haze' was voted best singer, and Richard Harrison a student at Harrogate High School was voted best song-writer.

Voting in detail in each category went: Best DJ Kingsley Allison - 101 votes Simon Peters - 54 votes Jimmy James 2 votes Marc Roberts 1 vote Best Group Haze 1 vote F Troop 1 vote Best Musician Guitarist John Knowles 1 vote Drummer Andrew Rathwell 1 vote Best Singer Dave Hope 1 vote Best Songwriter Richard Harrison 1 vote In our opinion low voting in the live' music sections does not indicate a lack of quality but simply a lack of publicity. With so few local bookings now available the local musicians are finding it difficult to make their names known. We would like to help more people to get to know their local musicians by writing about them on this page. But we can only do this is the musicians or their friends will contact us by writing to Youth Page, Harrogate Herald, Montpellier Parade or by telephoning Harrogate 4001 and asking for a Youth Page reporter. As this was the first Pop Poll in Harrogate we would also be pleased to have your comments about the Poll. Was it a good idea? Should we continue to hold the Poll in coming years? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
