Sorry, Seamus. Unless there's a valid parse for your @24 that no-one has worked out, Rossim's vote is transferred to Tatters. It was close to being a good clue.

dorrien@17 please

ab #26 ahead of chris#2 and dorrien#17

With only 3 votes yet to be registered, Heathcliff @28 and Dorrien @17 both have 3 votes, Tatters @20, AB @26 and FJ @12 have 2 apiece, and Memo @37, SteveA @6 and Aristo @14 are all on 1 vote each. Any of the aforementioned could win.

Sorry I've not been paying attention today. As you say close but not close enough! It should have been:

See a rum cocktail is the quota (7)

Dirtier 17

tatters @ 20

As usual, I was miscounting and didn't realise all the votes were in. Sorry, folks. Thank you all for taking part.

With 1 vote each we have Nemo @37 (sorry for the earlier predictive text typo), SteveA @6 and Aristo @14. On 2 votes apiece are AB @26 and FJ @12. In third place on 3 votes is Heathcliff @28. Tying at the top with 4 votes each are Tatters (still on form)@20 and Dorrien @17. Both excellent clues.

Just edging it for me is Dorrien @17 with

Shot in a bar? (7)

Congratulations. Your prize is another excuse for me to inflict upon you (and anyone else who cares to look in) the chaps I'll hopefully be seeing live in a couple of weeks, the title of the song being "Measure." No accompanying video, I'm afraid.

A bonus for those who require moving pictures with their music. (Watch out for the complicated motif on the piano).
