You didn't "Misremember", until a week or two ago we were going to go,...we still might be able to go but recent events are challenging and will make it difficult. It's just impossible to say "Yes" right now and we don't want to let people down.

Money is one factor, time spent away from my guitars recently is another, health is rarely on my side plus there's other stuff going on which isn't public yet and *that* will make it difficult to do anything, but we will try and if we can make it, we will.

Sorry I can't be more positive or definite.

Modellista

I’ll be there and am happy to help organise or do whataever’s required to make it go swimmingly. 

Snags

@Alnico not a problem man. Hope it all shakes down well for you both. Shout if there's anything constructive I can contribute from a distance ...

Are folk just booking the Cambridge hotel? 

pmbomb

am trying to relieve transport pain - anyone travelling up from the southern side of M25 or thereabouts? anyone going Friday night?

Snags

My previous offer stands. Aiming to leave Hertford Friday afternoon, and there's space to leave your wagon at ours if you want? Appreciate it's not ideal, so no worries if you get a better option.

I can sing it an octave down.  No chance in a month of Sundays doing it like the record.  Also could do with some harmony vocals on the choruses.  And I can do the Izzy parts on a Lester.  Presume you're doing the Slash parts, Tom?

Yes I'll be booking the Cambridge, need to get round to doing it.

Modellista

^ actually it would be 11 semitones down if we play in E standard rather than Eb!

@Modellista I was down for rhythm but there's a chance I have to take a trip abroad and might not make the jam. I'll know in a couple of weeks so all my parts are up for grabs so it's all yours if I don't make it.

Sorry dude, didn't mean to try and grab your parts as it were!

Whoa, would be a shame it you can't make it, that'll be another nine blank spaces on the spreadsheet!

vasselmeyer

TBH I didn't realise I was down for so many. If I make it, I'll take myself off some of those.

^ completely unofficial and overstepping the mark, but here's my take on what's happening - I've removed a few songs which didn't look popular, including one of mine, and filled a few gaps with me, mainly on vocals.  Still quite a lot to fill.  @bloodandtears you need to get a couple of suggestions in!

Modellista

Only 6 weeks practising time left so if this is going to be good I think we need to firm up the song list ASAP.

Modellista

Song suggestions from gig list:

WMGGW

Dancing In The Moonlight

Cigarettes And Alcohol

Paranoid

Pretty Vacant

Never Gonna Give You Up

Rocking In The Free World

Highway To Hell

Beat It

Danger Zone

Snags

I'm not drumming  the one I'm down to drum, but could guitar it.

 I've also put my hand up.for My Sharona.

Had a loose plan to do Word Up and I Love Rock and Roll with Alnico at the gig, but looks like those are off the board now.
