Kinks-Village green preservation..
Beatles-Mean Mr Mustard
George Harrison-My Sweet Lord
T.Rex-Ride a white swan/Raw Ramp/Debora
.....well i reckon most upbeat T.rex is good as live covers,and would likely get the library crowd going!
Is this too depressing:

Looking at having a bass drum beat after the first verse and chorus
So far it's looking like this:
Blowing in the Wind w/ harmonica
Bang bang (Nancy version) with a verse from Riders on the storm instead of the bridge, Girl you gotta love your man etc)
Champagne Supernova
Someone Like You
Red House (or alternative Hendrixy chilled blues, with backing drums and bass I think) to give the voice a rest but do a bit of guitaring.
My own song to end, with the back track I did for the fretboard challenge.
Then have Sunny Afternoon, American Tune, and Dear Prudence as back ups

Last Nite (Strokes), have gone a bit reggae ish on this one, and instead of the solo I've mixed in a bit of Blondie's heart of glass for a bit of contrast. Using a basic two bar drum loop
Bang Bang/Riders on the Storm (Nancy Sinatra/Doors). So a straight cover of Bang Bang as my new amp has a lovely tremolo, then instead of the middle break bit, I've slipped in a bit of the solos from Riders on the Storm, then the "girl you gotta love your man" verse before going back to band band afterwards.
Someone Like you (Adele) - I'm still surprised this one works, but it does. Verse two and chorus has a lumineers style foot stamp on the beat drum loop
Champagne Supernova (oasis) mad fer it arr kid
Santa Claus is back in town ( Elvis). In the style of Hendrix's Red House. If you can't beat em join em
Hallelujah (Buckley) wave your lighters at the back
Then finishing on my own song from the fretboard challenge with full back track
Everything is crossed

A few lessons learnt, I found it really hard to look up at the audience so was a but conscious of that in general. Also I felt I need to improve my confidence and conviction of playing not to rush things, and to have faith that the pauses and tempo pulling I've been practising for weeks is good and sounds "right".
Also I need to start practising standing up, I did sound check stood up and couldn't play some bits, so I sat down for the set instead but will have to stage next time so as to breathe properly.
Thanks for all the help guys

Oh, bit late.
Well done. Glad it went ok despite the hiccups.
Something I do with drum loops on my looper is to 'pre-eq' them with an 'inverted 12" speaker' response curve (kind of like speaker emulation in reverse) - they then sound pretty good through a clean guitar amp (less so if the amp is overdriven, of course).
We shall see
