All - please look out for more communication in the New Year.

Judging by the second post, nobody who has expressed an interest in attending has pre-paid the necessary £27 fee.
Debate about possible material to be performed appeared to peter out last October.
Thread starter and former-organiser, Bridgehouse, got royally pissed off with being taken for granted in early December and absented himself. (I may have contributed to this but have been too wrapped up in my own problems to notice until this week.)
The foundation for events such as this are a good drummer and bass guitarist. I am uncertain about who amongst the Confirmed Attendees are bassists and would have the time, patience or inclination to learn the proper bass lines for whatever songs end up on the agreed play list. Less experienced attendees will probably be depending on the jam session performances conforming fairly closely to the famous recorded versions of the material in question.
Without Bridgehouse (or somebody very like him), the entire edifice is in danger of collapse.
The event is in June 2019, and was announced 10 months in advance, to give everyone plenty of notice.
We haven’t sorted payment provision yet.
As for song choice, we never really got this started, but once someone has paid they would be able to suggest their three songs. We would start a separate thread for that. It’s a bit premature to be talking songs without having paid.
I agree that a drummer and bass are key, and appreciate the greater challenge is finding a bass player/players.
However, both @brocco and I would like to see/hear far more interest in this Bristol jam now that we’re into 2019.
And we would like others to step up and help out with organisation, please. It would make the jam better.
1. request that everyone who currently has their name down for this event reconfirms that you are still up for it and submits payment of £27 to @fandango by emailing: jamsouthwest.tfb@musician.org
2. we need about 25 paying players for this event to be viable - request your help in getting the word out to anyone you know who may be interested/close enough
3. we all want these events to be enjoyable, but these events don't run themselves - currently we don't have enough volunteers - please consider stepping forward as this is a not-for-profit event run by volunteers!
I'm not sure if I will be up to attending by the 8th June, but if I am able I will come along.
I'm new to jam's so will be fun. Can you please PM me the paypal address.
Be good to talk cricket bats with @Gassage
Persistent and inconsistent guitar player.
A lefty, hence a fog of permanent frustration
Not enough guitars, pedals, and cricket bats.

I won't be *performing* in any way except to back people up if needed and if I can pull it together by June I might try to find a space on the day where I can teach a small group for an hour if that's a popular idea?
I need to start getting out again.
