Life is as close to normal as it's going to get so put me down as definitely going.
I'll make a start into those 4 songs next week and see what else I can remember before December.
That place where all this comes from for me is like a platform I stand on to play and to whatever degree, it taps into my emotions. That platform has looked like a war zone for the last couple of months but now it's looking clearer and more like a stage again.
Looking forward to it now.
That's good to hear @alnico
Im a bit disappointed at the lack of input on what people want to play - Im happy to just meet up and jam, but my learning from the Leicester one was that it works better if people come prepared for a few songs and the others can help backing on them. Current list is:-

So theres plenty of places for others to fill. Im not sure if @octatonic will be there to help out on drums as he's on a hiatus and I don't have any other contact detais for him.
So the challenge to the others is get me a list of the songs you want to play and we can start filling in the drums/bass/vocal slots.

Just a quick reminder to @mrkb, @bridgehouse, @Octatonic, @Flink_Poyd, @Alnico, @TTBZ, @mike_l
@spark240, @strumjoughlamps, @Pablo, @aord43, @darthed1981, @TADodger, @impman, @adampeter, @thorpyfx
Let us know if you are still interested in the Jam on Dec 3rd, and what instruments you want to play on what songs.
Im planning 3 x 30 mins slots of proper songs mixed with 3x30 min sets of jam along songs. I will probably have to play drums (unless we have other volunteers) so will need some notice to get the songs structure learnt.

Looking at this thread quickly, it's not easy to see who's coming (maybe and committed) and what's being played (suggested and committed).
@BridgeHouse organised the Quad session really tightly and got people into the slots quickly so that there could be some pre-session practising. And it worked well. If there's a song suggested, but no-one wants to commit to playing it (which is what it looks like in the s/sheet) then perhaps it's not popular/attractive enough, so bin it and move on to something else.
@Flink_Poyd - can I commandeer your second post in this thread to maintain an updated list of who & what?
Still very interested and a definite unless life gets in the way!
In terms of songs, I'm happy to play any bit of Champagne Supernova, and the jam songs look fun, though I'm no Hendrix so some of those might be rather beyond me.
In terms of songs, I'll happily join in on Sunshine apart from the two I'm down for anyway. I'm hesitant to suggest any more songs myself until some of the others have been dropped or filled up.
With @octatonic potentially not available maybe we need some more strummy acoustic songs, or tunes where we can get by without a drummer, give you a bit of a break?
You are right time is getting along - I was sort of waiting for the videos to see where I did OK and where not from Leicester, but I'd assume with @digitalscream having a hiatus we won't get them for a bit.
Hopefully see everyone back on here soon. My "jacking it in" thread proved to me what a great community this is.

Now. A song list? I reckon me and @Alnico could kickstart that.
I need to do it for the Northern Jam soon anyway
But, can i suggest that some of us non gigging people might like a pre 'proper' song session to rehearse with the more experienced in the group to actually learn something, or, possibly a rehearsed group song at some point in the day perhaps..
Also I'm happy to drag the Hot Rod Deluxe and M13 down for everyone to use.
There'll be more to ask, more to think about and more to do but answers to that lot and the info therein will give @mrkb , @TTony , @Bridgehouse and I something to get stuck into.
Also noted that @TTony is organising the song sheet, which is awesome.
These things always work best when there's general enthusiasm all 'round from everyone so let's keep this simmering and make it the best we can?
We MUST find a backup drummer ASAP !!!
It's a real shame James isn't about but maybe if someone can reach him, he'd do it? Worth asking?
Ever Fallen in Love - Guitar
Basket Case - Guitar and Vocals
Jolene (Ray Lamontagne) - Guitar and Vocals
Comfortably Numb - Guitar and RW Vocals (DG Vocal by @impmann )
I *Think* that's right but happy to wiggle if needed.
@mrkb ......that's almost 30 minutes there.
I don't mind or care if you want to chop that up or run it as a 30-minute slot, I'm happy with either. In reality, I would do that in one go anyway and on stage, the equipment changes in between songs would have to be coped with anyway so it's no big deal for me. Everything is saved on patches on the GT100 so a change without swapping guitar - seconds. A change WITH swapping the guitar - maybe 60 seconds inc tuning.
I'm bringing my Pro Strat, Ibanez UV777BK (7 String), My Boss GT100 and I'm looking for a clean valve amp to plug into when I get there.
Id put myself as maybe BEG+ if we use the same system as Leicester. I've not been playing much recently.
I'll bring my Katana but it's more for practise than backline if people are bringing big sexy valve jobs!
There is drum kit (no cymbals- I’ll bring those), mics and bass amps provided. We just need to bring guitars and amps.
Ive been PMd by octatonic, and he’s not coming, so we need another drummer if possible - I think @strumjoughlamps plays, but he’s not confirmed if he wants to yet . I’ve asked my drum tutor if he knows anyone, but no ones come forward yet.
There’s no keyboard player yet-does anyone know one?
I’ve been tracking people’s responses on kit,songs and experience in a googlesheet, I’m happy to let people have access to it, otherwise I’ve been posting images showing status on here. @ttony Is there a way to embed tables for listing songs, attendees, etc, or is a link to an imgur image the only way?
Ebay mark7777_1
Typical bloody guitarist.
All us bassists look the same to you, eh @Alnico?
The easiest way (for you) is the embedded image.
I can use my admin powers to do that without needing to use imgur though, which makes it a bit quicker / easier. Thats what I was going to use post #2 for - keep it all easy to find in the thread.
