I've just made a chart for myself for Symphony Of Destruction, so I can help out on rhythm. I'll have to improvise a solo on the spot though as I'll never remember the original, so don't build your hopes up

@Jonathangus, as you're doing vocals and guitar, do you need another guitar to back you up?
If so. are there any takers?
I could do guitar, but then we'll need someone to do bass. I've done a tab for the bass if it helps.

If we need to drop some, are there any very simple tunes that the singers know that we can throw in at short notice to jam on?

Will either need someone to add some guitar, or take over the singing. Playing single chords on the beat is about my limit if I'm trying to sing at the same time.

If the guitar, bass and drums are sorted I can step in on Vocals - they are more in my range so should be able to muddle through once Ive made a song sheet.

@stratman3142 can you send me the spreadsheet? I'm too lazy to filter the usernames manually lol

Hopefully the link below will work for anyone that wants to download the spreadsheet.

Got it, thanks. I filtered it down to these members.

I'll start a group chat in a bit. With 9 people that would be £17.77 each

Am I forwarding the money to yourself again Rob? Still have details from last time.

mrkb · February 2023

@roberty What times do we have the room booked for? Am dropping the wife at her mates in Bristol so need to give her likely timing.

mrkb · February 2023

Is it 9-5? 10-6? Anyone know?

mart · February 2023

As usual, I'm not going to manage to be there much before 10:30.

Cool - I'll stick with the guitar then.

The website says the opening times on a Saturday are 2pm to 6pm. Am I missing something?

I saw 10am-11pm somewhere. My wife wants to know when she can visit her mate in Bristol, so Im getting hassled! What time is the booking @roberty ?

Pretty sure it's 10-6, I am double checking now. Will start a group message with payment details today

roberty · February 2023

@mrkb the booking is for 9-5 but we can change this to 10-6 if we prefer. I said to leave it for now unless there is a preference in the group for the later time

Thanks - Ive got a 2 1/4 hour drive to get there so 10 is better for me, but can get there for 9.30 if majority prefer a 9am start.

Jonathangus · February 2023

If we've got the room from 9, those of us that are local can spend the first hour or so getting drum kits and amps set up, with a view to starting around 10-ish.

I shouldn’t worry too much… I’m guaranteed to f*** up in the half time bits!

Ironically I've memorised the solo but I can't fucking play it (!)

That's a good idea

If we're looking to pad out the song list Pretty Vacant was fun last time

stratman3142 · February 2023

Pretty Vacant, Teenage Kicks, Rocking In The Free World and Wishing Well are all possible simple options if someone can sing them.

Brocco · February 2023

Although a soul song, Knock On Wood could be a good option to busk on the day. Clapton and Bowie have both done covets, and we could extend the shuffle in A and E for some extended soloing.

Would be happy to play on Wishing Well again, and take a turn in the band for Teenage Kicks and Rocking In The Free World.

Sunshine Of Your Love could be another option for busk8ng on the day.

Brocco · February 2023

Logistics: how is the parking at Firebird? I'll aim to be there for 9.

stratman3142 · February 2023

There's a final song list at the end of this post. I'll print off a few copies to bring with me.

I've put @mrkb down as lead on 'Die Laughing Therapy'

I've put myself down as lead guitar on 'Symphony Of Destruction'

I'm assuming @roberty can do both vocals and guitar on 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love'

I think that just leaves 'Dr Feelgood' and 'Girls Girls Girls' as lacking a guitarist. I might be able to blag my way through those on guitar if someone can do bass, but it will be a bit rough because I haven't worked on the guitar parts.

Remember anyone can play on a song they're not down for, because we can do multiple run throughs.

**Image removed. See more recent post for the latest update of the song list**

No - Im singing and rhythm - so Jonathangus can do his proper guitar bits.

Sorry, I misread your earlier post.

Here's a corrected version. Again, just a reminder that we can flex things on the day, now we've got this to work from.

There'll be no one there at 9. Plenty of space. It's in a fenced in industrial area

100% chance I can attempt it, 80% chance I can pull it off

Vibetronic · February 2023

Sorry, tried and failed with last ditch attempt to get my sister to babysit (she's out all day). Hope you all have a great day and get some good footage so I can at least watch after the event!

mrkb · February 2023

Grooving to Acdc

roberty · February 2023

Solid effort lads. Good to see you all

You were missed! Hope to see you next time

mrkb · February 2023

Thanks for a great day guys, look forward to the next one.

Brocco · February 2023

How does a September date suit everyone for the next one?
