    Here's an updated song list.

    We just need vocals to have enough roles for Teenage Kicks and On A Plain, assuming @Bennyboy-UK doesn't need a 2nd guitar for support on the latter.

    I've added That's Entertainment and Maybe Tomorrow (live acoustic), which were suggested as possible songs without a drummer. Any volunteers for those two?

    **Image removed. See more recent post for the latest update of the song list**
    It's not a competition.

    Great, I'll add those at the next update.

    Should I remove the following from the list, as they've been on a while and don't have many takers?

    Here Comes You Man
    Mardy Bum
    Jealous Again
    American Girl

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

    I'll be there, and am very much looking forward to it!

    We now have 28 songs in the list.

    @mrkb ; and @roberty, as you are both heavily commited to roles, are there any you'd prefer to drop to make your life easier? We want it to be fun and not a marathon for some.

    It's not a competition.

    I’m pretty good with those, some are a big rougher than others, but will be good enough on the day to not put anyone off ;)

    Here's a song list with the coloured fill removed. That's to save on my printer ink, when I create copies to bring to the jam.

    The grey fill shows where there are empty roles now.

    Watch out for the following song keys, which I believe are at the request of @bobblehat who's doing vocals on them.

    Talk Dirty To Me: the guitars are tuned down a semitone on the original, so you'll need to tune down if you want to play it as if it's in G

    Fortunate Son: It's in A, which is a tone higher than the original

    Lil Devil: It's down a semitone  That makes it in the key of C#. So you'll need to tune down if you want to play it as if it's in D

    I'll be bringing a guitar tuned down a semitone, if anyone want to borrow it.

    Great stuff guys - I'll also need to do some learning I'm quite excited and very nervous too! I don't often play out with anyone in the real world!

    Is the group chat sorted for payment as yet @roberty ;- I'm not sure if I'm looking in the wrong place!


    I'm always looking for interesting USA Hamers for sale.

    At the moment I'm looking for Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62, Vanguard.

    Please drop me a message.

    I shall be there!  Andy may also pop along in a non-drumming, taking pics and filming, and generally being sociable role, too.

    30 : Maybe Tomorrow

    I can pretty much play and sing that's entertainment. Might as well throw it on the pile

    Would be good to see him. And if he fancies doing a song on the day I’m happy to pass over the drum stool.

    I assume @mart is OK with bass on that one, as he suggested it. If so, that means we've got enough roles to play it as a non-drumming song.

    29: That's Entertainment
    30 : Maybe Tomorrow

    The Maybe Tomorrow chord sequence is  Eb, Cm, Gm and F (repeats over and over). The track could be done singer songwriter style if  if someone is up for that, or if we have a volunteer for vox I can provide guitar (but in a way would prefer not to as I am already down for quite a few tracks).

    Nobody's down for 2nd guitar on La Grange, so I'm happy to do it while @roberty is soloing, unless anyone else wants to do it.

    You might need to give me the nod when the solo ends, I keep losing count as it’s so long!

    I can play That's Entertainment, either on bass or guitar - two guitars might work best?

    I'll be bringing my tiny bass amp along, so it depends if everyone is happy to use that or if anyone wants a bigger/different sound.

    I'll merge the cells for bass, guitar and 2nd guitar together for 'That's Entertainment', then you can choose what you want to do on the day.
