@strumjoughlamps - I can get you on the "others" list and you can then come along anyway and jam - you'll be a reserve for the main session then!

And there's places in Woking in April if you want to do that one!!

I hope so, because Quad would be wrong without you there!

He’s sneaked the last “others” slot

As it stands - this Jam is now totally full to the brim - we are onto a reserves list and waiting for drop outs for slots to be available

TTony · August 2018

Now he’ll tell us that he can’t make the date ....

strumjoughlamps · August 2018

Cool guys cheers @TTony @Bridgehouse ;

We will kidnap him and make sure he’s there

Bridgehouse · August 2018

Quick reminder to everyone - get over to the new songlist thread and make sure you get your choices in by Friday pls! Don’t want you to miss out!

thomasross20 · August 2018

Err - Leicester doesn't have an airport

There's only East Midlands?
I'm going to book the flights and sort out accommodation and other travel later - could I please borrow a guitar when I'm there ?

thomasross20 · August 2018

Done. £67 return. Get in 10:30am on Friday and leave 9pm on Sunday...
So should give me a bit of time to see some of Leicester and I keep my holidays for a more relaxing break.
I see there's a 24 hour bus to Leicester from East Midlands airport - takes under an hour for under a tenner. I see Quad studios is in the city centre so I should be able to get a hotel easily... awesome! Just gutted I wont have my wee guitar with me

Legionreturns · August 2018

@thomasross20 if you want to meet up somewhere similar to last time I'd be happy to ferry a guitar

Bridgehouse · August 2018

Is there a post and one of us bring it option?

thomasross20 · August 2018

That's a very kind offer but I'm sure if somebody has an acoustic I can play, I'll be ok... none of my song choices require an electric. I'm just used to my own guitar (I string them one string tension lower than most folk). Thanks, though!

@Bridgehouse that's cool but honestly, it'll be ok lol.. If I can't play another guitar after 18 years of playing, I'm a guff guitarist

Just hope I can get a loan on the day - I can always play the parts on electric, too. Will just be good to meet up!

It’s an option if you want!

thomasross20 · August 2018

Sorry about the whole "England tour" thing - I just realised I wasn't going to have the time to do it properly. It's still a long way for me to come for a jam, but I'm glad to be doing so

--> If there's a particularly good part of Leicester to stay in near things to do I'd appreciate that info (guessing the general answer will be "the centre")

-> No time to mess about, I booked Ibis City Centre for two nights £115.

Legionreturns · August 2018

Well I'll take my acoustic for you to use if you like. It's a 12th fret join parlour size so low tension.

thomasross20 · August 2018

Low action? LOW action?

Sounds great! Thank you!

Effective 3 days in Leicester - this place had better be " jumpin' "

As someone else mentioned, there’s the King Power Stadium..... woooooooo! Leicester City are playing away on that weekend, so youll have it all to yourself if you go. Jump around to your hearts content.

TADodger · August 2018

@thomasross20 - Depends on your preference of hotel, but Leicester Central Travelodge is a short walking distance from Quad and on the edge of the town f@ ;

I can stick an electric something in the car, any preference for Strat or Tele type?

thomasross20 · August 2018

I'm a strategy man but I'd only be electric if there's some sort of electric jam or asked to - so please don't go to any bother but I appreciate it

mrkb · August 2018

@bridgehouse - @not_the_dj has withdrawn - do you want to promote someone from the reserve list so they can get their song suggestions in?

Yes - will do

Bridgehouse · August 2018

@WezV wanted to be on the others list so I think the spare place is @McToot ‘s - your song choices sir!

Shelders · August 2018

Just sent payment!

strumjoughlamps · August 2018

Just paid my dues innit.

fandango · September 2018

Just checking as to the date, as I'm confused - is it the 18th or the 24th ???? The setlist thread has the 18th November. This thread has the 24th.

Would the organisers very kindly please confirm the date, and change the thread titles to avoid any confusion.

Thanks.

Legionreturns · September 2018

I certainly hope it's the 24th as I'm already double booked for the 17th... triple would not be good!

Bridgehouse · September 2018

It’s booked at Quad for the 24th!

The other thread is Nov 18 - as in Nov 2018

Yep - we’re not Americans so there shouldn’t be any confusion.

SteveF · September 2018

Didn't even notice this thread until mentioned in another section. I'm fairly local to Leicester and could attend with little notice. If you get any cancellations as we approach the date, please keep me in mind. Would be a good opportunity to meet some people (and see thomasross again - been a while since GASfest 2005!)

@Bridgehouse is the man with the list.

Talk to him and he'll arrange a place on the reserve list for you.

Howdy, Stranger!
