Thats nice dear, do we need to do anything?

darthed1981 · December 2018

List above here, cut down from the earlier longlist.

Sign up to as many things as you like. We have two days at Sasquatch, so there will be lots of time to do things multiple times.

I think it's fair to say if we have any first-time jammers join the attendees, or if something gets very little interest, we can be quite flexible here.

Plenty of time to learn and practise

I'm personally looking at doing...

Rock N Roll Star - Lead

Girl From Mars - Lead

for now...

Legionreturns · December 2018

I'd like to sing Girl from Mars and play the acoustic bits please.

I'm always happy to sing Tom Petty songs and Johnny Cash ones.

Feel like I should bass Holiday Road and Hey Joe again and have a crack at Watchtower and Remedy on bass.

I'm not gonna sign up for any guitar slots. I'll leave them open for others.

Snags · December 2018

I Won't Back Down - would like to sing and play a guitar part (don't mind which)
Learning to Fly - think I probably want to play on that

Will have a listen and ponder and throw my hat in the ring for some others. Might look at filling in some blanks on bass/guitar as time goes by

richardhomer · December 2018

What happened to @TTony and my JJ Cale song?

Dontgiveupyourdayjob · December 2018

Remedy was my pick, so I'd like in on the guitar action on that one!

If we can get two goes at this I’m happy to sing one and play rhythm on the other.

Was rather under the impression Tony wasn't coming, hence it's non inclusion.

If that's not the case I'm happy to put it in.

pmbomb · December 2018

yay rock'n'roll.

Ace of Spades, Fight For Your Right with @LuttiS, noisy bits of Girl From Mars pls. Solos we can work out or record it more than once if I get time to learn them. Not on a mission for solos.

put me on reserve list for Lil' Devil and I Won't Back Down (can do solo) pls as I know them, but happy for others to have first dibs.

I'm happy to "fill in some blanks" playing bass/guitar/vox/bvox/triangle/whatever's left .

Because you told me you "doubt you will attend another event" but if that's changed then that's great.

I deliberately kept the shortlist short enough so there was room to move, so we can put it back on.

mrkb · December 2018

@darthed1981 - Is it worth making sure people have paid before they get put against songs to minimise the risk of dropouts and lots of late changes? Quad was a pain to keep track of and there was lots of churn as people dropped out of the event.

vasselmeyer · December 2018

Any of the following:

Slide on Won't Back Down

Rhythm on Paradise City

Lead and vocals on Crossroads

Guitar and I can do vocals on Need Your Love So Bad, perhaps with @richardhomer ;

I can do vocals on Wishing Well and I'm happy to play on it if no-one else does.

If we need three guitarists on Freebird then I'll stick my hand up for one of those spots.

vasselmeyer · December 2018

Oh, and can throw in a bit of open G riffage on Brown Sugar if you need to fill spots.

Join me on Crossroads as well @richardhomer and we'll stage another British Invasion!

I really shouldn't be here posting bollocks. Post deleted. Apologies to all for, well, all of it really.

.

We'd originally hoped that we'd end up with lots of these sessions happening, and different people coming along to the different ones and us ending up with dozens (and dozens and dozens) of different members taking part across the different sessions. We'd take the online community and extend it into real life, which I was *very* keen on achieving (for various reasons). That was the intention of having a Northern bash, a Southern bash, one in the middle, one out West, etc,

.

Theres been a lot of very successful spin offs that are taking off more regularly! @Broccos Gloucester one, @snags hertford one, I did one in Northampton. Has there been any East Anglia ones? Each has a core of attendees with other people who they've met at the jams coming along. The community spirit is great if people come along with the right attitude.

Legionreturns · December 2018

Tony, the jams *are* fulfilling their desired purpose. The vast majority of playing slots at the last 3 jams I've attended have been filled by "people who don't get to play with others often".

At Quad last weekend we had 3 songs that were problematic because their sponsors weren't there following late drop out. Everything else worked fine and was well received.

The two Huddersfield sessions we've had so far have received incredible feedback. Not from some shadowy cabal of cliquey tFBers, but from experienced and new jammers alike.

I'm a little bit fucked off with people busting their bollocks to organise these events, only to be publicly slagged off on here by an admin and founder of the forum we're trying to support, which, by the way, makes a considerable amount of money out of these jams too.

Ultimately, if you don't like the way they're run. Run them differently. It's easy to sit on the wall and piss in...

darthed1981 · December 2018

TTony said:

So, if the organising committee has decided that the purpose has changed and the intention is for a few of us to get together and have a good time, then that's great, and I'm completely up for that. I'll get my name all over a bunch of the songs that you've chosen - even if it means a trip to the far Northern wastelands ...

I think the jams have room to develop into lots of things ESPECIALLY Sasquatch as you have a wonderful proper rock studio with Bob, lots of time because we are there all weekend, a gig where last time several of us made our gig debut, and there was some great beer on, AND we helped make some money for charity

A really great sign can be seen in the Woking thread, where it was like the end of Spartacus when one of the new attendees put their hand up and asked for help, I thought that was brilliant.

Foolishly optimistic I may be, but I think the sessions can be everything everyone wants them to be.

TTony · December 2018

I'm clearly way out of line here.

Forget me.

I haven't had a bloke say that to me since I was at that Scissor Sisters gig...

But I've added that track to the list

vasselmeyer · December 2018

I play nearly every week so I don't *need* to play at the jams but I do it because i get to play with people I've never met before and that is brilliant fun. I also get to sing some lead which is never going to happen in a "proper" band.

If I didn't bring a guitar I'd turn up anyway because of the vibe and watching people do stuff they've never done before.

Anyone can have fun at these.

Howdy, Stranger!
