@Alnico , @TTony , I'm sorry to do this at this late stage but I'm going to have to pull out as my car has just been written off by a tosser pulling out of a side road so at the moment I have no vehicle and will likely have to spend the weekend going to look at replacements.

I'll sort the list placements out now for you.
Sorry to hear that, Is everyone ok?

Alnico · August 2017

List Update:

@Hywelg has pulled out so @Shelders has taken his place and could he please contact Hywel to arrange where to put his £8.

Reserve list now only has 3 people on it so it looks like this.....

Fine thanks. Just livid, and wondering how I'm going to be able to replace it for sensible money....

Glad to hear that.

I can't help much, I'm not involved with cars at all anymore.
It could be a lot worse though.
Glad you're ok.

Yeah why no girls does anyone know Mary Spender lets invite her?

This girl would really love to have been going but I spent too long arguing with myself as to whether I was good enough to go and by the time I plucked up the courage it was too late as all places were taken. Regretted it ever since but my own fault

It's not a competition so "good enough" doesn't come into the equation

There will be others though so you will have another opportunity

TimmyO · August 2017

Is anyone staying overnight on the Sat or do you all live close enough to go there and home on the day?

Stinker. Gonna have to pull out as apparently missus wants to do something for her birthday weekend now, selfish woman. Devastated.

Ok, I'll do it again just now........

Alnico · August 2017

Ok......

So @Shelders can't make it so @paulmapp8306 is now in his place.
Technically you're having this from @hywelg so can you PM him and arrange what to do with your £8.

There are only 2 people on the reserve list now......

Bridgehouse · August 2017

I'll have a go at updating the song list later to see where we are.

adampeter · August 2017

@TTony ;;
Who or how do i pay my money to?
Should have asked earlier, cant remember who i replaced

Alnico · August 2017

@Vinylfan ; has had to pull out so @adampeter has taken his place.

@shelders

@adampeter

If you contact @Vinylfan and go from there.
If he doesn't want it you can decide what to do between you.

OOOOOK.

I know Hywelg - Ill give him a PM and see what he wants to do.

I havent practiced anything - in truth I havent even looked at the "list" as quite frankly I didnt think Id get a place. With the best will in the world still being 3rd on a list with 3 days to go......

Im only coming from Nottingham anyway, so logistically its not a problem. If I dont get to play thats OK - Ill meet/great etc listen and learn. Take part in a workshop if it will benefit me, and Ill have my AFX rig to show people around.

Im fairly happy to sit in on a "Comfortably numb" or "hard to handle" as I have played them before (though Ill be rusty as). Ill give the running order a look tomorrow night (as Im in wales working in the day) and see if theres anything else I could do blind.

It will be nice to see octatonic again (its been about 5 years since we last got together) but Id have liked to have caught up with nice chris again so its a shame hes had to pull out.

As others have said, a lot more planned.

For reference, I'm terrible, but its a great opportunity and I'm really looking forward to it.

I just hope nothing else befalls all my fret bros here, what a crappy day for some of you

There and back in a day for me.

Legionreturns · August 2017

I'm doing the tour of Britain now, picking up a Chris, picking up a 2x12 cab, then the jam, then back again. No overnight I'm afraid

digitalscream · August 2017

Pretty simple for me - there early in the morning to help set up, back in time to see my band play an acoustic gig (with my predecessor stepping in, 'cos I don't even own an acoustic).

Let's hope I don't forget the D'Addario care package, because I really don't want to have to do the Leicester trip four times on a Saturday...

Bridgehouse · August 2017

Do you want me to update the song list folks? Or would you prefer it to be a bit more ad hoc on the day and let people fill slots as we go along?

I am happy to do either, and I'll be running around like an idiot making sure the right people are in the right place for each song - but am happy for it to be a bit more relaxed if that's what people fancy..?

Legionreturns · August 2017

I'm not only shit, but I also have the extra excuse that today I sliced one of my fingers open. I was demonstrating safe use of a bushcraft knife to some kids...badly! Fortunately it's not my fretting hand, but there won't be any finger picking now!

Well if we are all getting our excuses in now, then mine is that the chances are I will get pretty much very little sleep between now and Saturday as I'm currently involved in the project to relocate the school at the bottom of Grenfell Tower and it involves condensing a 12 month project into 9 weeks....

If anyone sees me snoozing in a corner just prod me with your headstock.

I can prod you with my bushcraft knife if you like? I'm very safe with it

Just try not to prod anything that might affect the quality of my bass playing.

Oh...

Nikko · August 2017

I actually had a dream about the Jam day last night. I dreamt that I got deafened by a ridiculously loud Fly 3 and then couldn't hear when people were telling me that it was my turn to play.

Odd.

mrkb · August 2017

@Bridgehouse - I appreciate the effort you've all put into organising this, so I'm sure we'll all go with the flow to make it a success. I hope @alnico does come along, but If you need anymore help on the day just let me know, even if it's just to get you a cup of tea!

My original plan was to have a few jars and stay over, but coming back now, taking @impmann to and fro as well.

Yeah I suggest that we try to all be in the main room to watch the performance before ones we are "in", and make sure two songs before we have checked our gear out in the 2nd room ready to roll.

That way we can support @Bridgehouse so he doesn't have to run himself ragged looking for errant musicians.

I'm going to try and be in the room to support everyone with an enthusiastic audience as much as possible as well!

Dude, I'd leave it Ad hoc...I can see the program slipping anyhow

strumjoughlamps · August 2017

FK me its Friday tomorrow and then it is Saturday after that[/stating the bloody obvious]

I think I can wing through guitar on Anarchy if needed and singing Pretty Vacant is me achieving a personal goal so earplugs out guys for that one...

looking forward to meeting up

Howdy, Stranger!
