    Here's an updated list.

    @Bertie I've added Freebird

    I've added Here Comes Your Man and Where Is My Mind. I've put @roberty down for Vocals and also Lead guitar.
    I assume Here Comes Your Man is in D. The original isn't at concert pitch and is somewhere between D and Eb.

    Blue fill = full lineup. So we can do the song.
    Amber fill = Available role. Good to have, but not essential
    Red fill = Role needed to allow the song to be played.
    Red text means a different key to the original

    It's not a competition.

    I think last time I played it in A? So the first chords are G-A-A G-A? Vocals were spot-on.

    I've edited the chart I posted earlier to show A.

    @Brocco do you think we should consider dropping songs that have been on there for a while that have attracted little interest? Perhaps let everyone know which are at risk 'as a last call' before we actually drop them.

    Or we could just keep adding to the list, until the writing gets so small that nobody can read it :)

    apols - it was more of a joke than a real suggestion -
    just because you don't, doesn't mean you can't

    Well you never know. There might be some interest. If not, I'll drop it at the next update.

    Suggest we give it the weekend after which we drop any tracks that do not have both a drummer and vocalist

    @TimmyO would be nice to see you....

    Question for @roberty - it looks like there could be 14/15 of us, how cosy will that make things at Firebird?  Should we put the heat on Factory as we know the large room there can easily accomodate us?
    More importantly any good food places nearby?! 

    On a more serious note also need to consider-

    1.Car parking
    2. Have we got all of the gear we need? (Drums, amps etc?)

    The room is massive. I'm just not sure if there are any chairs. I will call and find out. We're getting within the 30 day period for Factory now to be honest and they have sofas 
    Surely we all have the folding garden/festival style chairs we could bring?

    I've just had confirmation that my cousin's birthday bash is on the 1st - so I won't be able to make this.  I'm sorry and it's a real shame that I won't get to meet you all and play a bit.  Good luck with it all - it's been fascinating watching this process!

    Ottery St Mary, that's not far from me in Exmouth.

    btw. @Tele-scopic did you know that 'Joey The Lips' are playing at Manor Fest (Manor Park, Exmouth) tonight 28th August at 8pm. And it's free. I'll be going to see them.

    thread hi jack  - miss the old estuary towns/villages  - my uncle was live-in caretaker of the "town hall" in Topsham late 60s/70s  - spent many a summer holiday there and many a visit later    got a few old rugby mates in Exmouth

    Thanks everyone.  Thanks for the heads-up @stratman3142 - we have the in-laws staying and have a meal booked for tonight.  (Devon in the summertime, eh?)  Hope the Fest is fun.

    Btw. I made some charts for the ones we planned to do for the previous jam. I think that's the first 11 in the list. Not sure I'll get time to do any others. I may have charts for one or two of the others. PM me if you're interested.

    I was assuming @roberty was doing Vocals and Lead guitar on 'Here Comes Your Ma'n. I'll put you down as joint roles for the moment and see if we can get a drummer and bass player. Unless one of you wants to play bass.

    @Brocco I'm wondering whether to remove 'Richard III', 'Is She Really Going Out With Him' and 'That's Entertainment'. They've been on the list for a while and attracted little interest.

    Also, I'll remove 'Freebird' as @bertie wasn't serious about that one.

    If anyone wants to play on any of those, shout now.

    @stratman3142 please also remove my suggestions that are a long way from having a complete line-up (Move Over, Supersonic, Breathe and Attack, Strange Brew)

    I was wondering whether to keep those in a little longer as they're relatively new suggestions. I might be able to cover guitar or bass on some but I don't want to over commit just yet, because a need to learn some songs for a band plus I'm away for the two weeks leading up to the jam, so I don't know how much time I'll get to run through stuff.

    Factory wouldn't bend the booking rules and let me book a few days early so I have scheduled an email to send at 5 minutes past midnight, which is within the window. I don't understand what they're trying to achieve
