**BIG QUESTION:**
Which products and services would you like to be able to buy in our online shop?

More importantly, what are you looking for at the moment? Christmas presents? Fireguards? Jumpers?

If we don't already have it in the catalogue we'll try to get it for the end of the week!

Who's your favourite local band? Feel free to start tagging!

** THE QUIET REVOLUTION 2017 END OF YEAR CHART **

As announced live on Monday's show, lines are now open for our end of year chart! You can vote for as many tracks as you like, but they HAVE to have been released in 2017 (or December last year) and they HAVE to be by local musicians. The only exception to the rule is if an album was released in 2016, but the band/artist released a single from that album in 2017. Get it?

Votes can be cast by emailing [email protected] or by contacting us directly through Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Please remember that although you can vote for as many tracks as you like, you can only vote for those tracks once. Any votes made more than once will not be counted.

Lines will close at midnight on Tuesday 12th December and we'll announce the Top 30 live on air on Monday 18th December (Gary's final show!).

Don't worry if you can't remember what's been released this year. Next Monday, Emily will be spending the whole show playing some of those releases to help you decide.

Happy voting!
