@Bridgehouse ;

*is* there a track, or is this a jokey that flew well over my head??

Er I may have forgotten that... will do it tonight

Only a week to go!

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Gear-wise I don't have any "oooh" stuff, just bringing my Les Paul Studio, possibly my Squier Classic Vibe Tele and my electro-acoustic for WDIAROM, and my Boss Katana 50.

I have a few guitars on the hangers at the moment....any preferences to try out ?.....as I cant be bothered to get any more out...

Gibson SG 61RI
Musicman Axis super sport

It's obviously *very* forgettable.  Perhaps it's not one I should bother with ...

@spark240 I'd love to see that Parker fella.

I've been so smashed with work this has completely slipped my mind. I'll be down on the day and will bring some pedals and a guitar or two. 
It looks like that playing side of things is covered. So I will be emergency sub. If anyone pulls out I will pick up what they were playing.

@spark240 - I wouldn't mind a look / try of the MM Axis Super Sport to see how the neck feels please. Only if you want have too much to haul already.

I was going to bring my Code 25 and either a Tele Elite or PRS CU24, but if there is any interest in trying an Eastman 184, or a couple of G&Ls (s500 or Bluesboy), I could fit another guitar in.

The EBMM is in !

@TADodger looking forward to connecting again. The Eastman would be nice to try if you do happen to bring it.

This what I like about these events....the opportunity to try different gear in a friendly environment, with people who have been using it for a while, much better than a shop.

I will squeeze it in!

As we will not have keys at the jam it might be worth checking out the Nimmo Brothers version of Wishing Well (from their Brother To Brother album).

Things have gone a little quiet ahead of Sunday - how is the practice going?

impmann

Practice? What practice? Its a jam... ;-)

Ive been drumming like mad - So should be Ok for most of the songs. Finding "Sunshine of your love" a git though - kick on the 2 and 4 rather than the usual 1 and 3 screws with three years of drumming!

I'll send out final instructions tonight with a map, etc. 

I'm looking forward to it!

TTony

I guess I should mention it to my wife ...

And work out which guitar to bring along.

I seem to remember that in Leicester, @octatonic said he was going to do standard drum pattern (whatever that is) for that song.  It seemed to work OK when we played it!

Iffy...but hey I am not so nervous, having done Leicester.  Not because I am feeling confident but because I am less concerned about the potential to cock it up, it's all fun.  The fast (for me) run in the middle of the Live Forever solo is just a bit tricky for my fingers.  But I still want to give it a go

I'm proper late to the party on this one....but would it be ok to come over and hang around? You probably have more than enough players but it would be great to meet a few people. Happy to bring a guitar or two if there is anything in the herd anyone wants to try.

Just realised I hadn’t responded to this - sorry!
You’d be most welcome- we’re currently at 15 people (assuming no late drop outs), but there should be plenty of opportunity to join in and help others out with a bit of backing when needed, etc. 

mrkb

OK, logistics....

Were playing at Stalkers Studio http://www.stalkersstudio.co.uk/

Stalkers Studio, Heathfield Way, Northampton ,NN5 7QP

We are booked in from 1pm to 5pm in the Blackstar and Carter rooms (which are adjoining). We'll be setting up from 1 and start about 1.30ish.

Theres no catering facilities inside so bring what you need - there are food places outside, but Im not sure if they are open on a Sunday. 

Its located in an industrial unit. Go through the "Loading Bay" in the image below, walk up the slope, and take the first Right (through a set of doubledoors), and the rooms are halfway down on the LHS.

They have a pallet truck for loading/unloading if needed.

Parking is anywhere you can find in the surrounding area - suggest you drop off outside first - there should be plenty of us around to help.

Bring a stand for your guitars so they aren't left on the floor or leant precariously against amps.

If you want my mobile number PM me (Im not sticking it on a public forum!)

See you on Sunday!
