    @Neilybob ;; should I put out a last call for those songs with two or more roles still empty?

    Just vocals needed? I can step in if there are no other takers
    What all 5, currently missing vocals?

    It's not a competition.

    OK. I've added @roberty on vocals for 

    Rocking In The Free World
    Alright Now
    Feel Like Making Love
    Wishing Well
    I Love Rock n' Roll

    The songs in white (unfilled) still lack a full line-up

    And some we'll be playing a few times. I think we'll need to take plenty of breaks for you.

    I was worried we might not have enough. Do we need to think about dropping some now?

    Should be fine, there’s only a few on the list that are tricky for me - On a plane , Die laughing and Pretty Vacant are fast tricky kick patterns and those are the only bits I’ll struggle with. As long as we space them out and start with a few easier kick/snare/kick/snare type songs I should warm up ok

    Are there any non-drum songs we can add? I recall somebody sang That's Entertainment at one of the earlier Bristol jams.

    Also, I'm happy to play bass on Teenage Kicks, so if we can get a singer for that and On a Plain then that's two more complete line-ups. I know @roberty sang On a Plain last time - could you manage both? If so, would it help if we dropped one or two of the others. Eg, there seems to be a lot of Free/Bad Company...

    The Live from Dakota version of Maybe Tomorrow is a potential "interlude" track, just vocals and guitar (a repeating 4 chord sequence). We could go mad and add bass!

    Along with considering if some tracks should be dropped, maybe everyone could name all the tracks (for which we have volunteers for all roles) that they would like to play on but aren't down for yet, so we have a full picture of the number of potential run throughs for each tune (gives us the best chance of ensuring that everyone gets a fair crack and also to think about what is reasonable to ask of @mrkb).

    We are about 9 weeks out now. 

    How early can we book the studio and which studio are we booking? 


    don't believe we have committed to a venue - probably a good idea for everyone who is attending to chip in with their preferred studio given how close we are to the date....
    I believe @roberty is our venue booking chap and I think we preferred the larger room at Factory Studios I believe?

    What’s the earliest we can book Roberty? 
    Factory is a pain to book because they only take bookings from 28 or fewer days in advance. I could schedule an email to send at 12:01am

    We went to Firebird last time which was fine, a bit more casual admin-wise. They have decent coffee there too. They run a music school during the day on Saturdays so it's quite a wholesome atmosphere
    So are you booking Firebird? When do you need the dosh and how much? 
    Yeah sure let me sort it out. I'll get a quote. From memory it's £125ish
    @roberty did you get a quote for Firebird? With less than 30 days to go I think we need to get a room booked asap.

    I’ve just run through 25 of the songs back-to-back in about 2 hours (had to stop for a wee and couldn’t face going back to the drum kit to do the last three), so think it’ll be ok on the day, but I don’t want to take any more songs on. 

    Surprisingly I was suffering with concentration issues rather than physical, but my kick drum leg wasn’t obeying my brain in a few songs ;)

    Is a venue now booked? 
    Karma......

    Do we need another roll call to confirm who's coming, so we know the number of participants?
