Knackered Jack and the Resistors UK 'Lollapaboozer' Tour Dates 2015

May 30th - Walsall, West Midlands.

June 27th - Leicester, East Midlands

July 25th - Cambridge, East Anglia

August 22nd - Chelmsford, Essex

September 26th - North London

October 31st, Halloween Party - Brighton, South Coast

November 28th - Bristol, South West

December 19th, Christmas Party - Manchester, North West

_____________________________________________________________________________

Exact Locations are to be confirmed as we go. It would be a massive help if those people in the areas listed could suggest suitable locations for me to contact regarding rehearsal studios and venues / pubs.
All dates fall on a Saturday.
Rehearsals will be on the afternoon of the same date and will last for 4 hours, hopefully from 12pm - 4pm. It is not essential that you attend the rehearsal but it's there for you if you feel that you would like to run through whichever songs you want to perform that night.
Setting up at the venue should ideally be around 6pm to kick off the music around 8pm.
Typically we will only ever get to play until last orders around 11pm.
I will be looking into hotels in the various parts of the UK and if i can get a discount for 'Block Booking' rooms then i will notify everyone here.
Given that it's expected for there to be a lot of equipment at these events, it's not essential for everyone to bring guitars and amps etc. Providing that 50-60% of us bring equipment, those who need to travel via coach or train would not necessarily need to bring anything except a sense of fun and enthusiasm.

_________________________________________________________________________

I need some input now as to exact locations and venues from those who live in or near the above area's. Names and address' inc phone numbers will help me to plan this and provide details here for everyone else. The above post will be Copied and updated as and when i can get these events confirmed and booked.

Let's make this the year we bring the fun back into live music !

Both the Walsall and Leicester ones look possible for me. I'm free then and can get to both places, would just need to enlist some in-law help to have the kids for the afternoon.

TTony · March 2015

Brilliant work @alnico

Maybe edit your first post with the list of dates & venues so it's easy for people to find?

Alnico · March 2015

Ok

Here is the initial song list.

It is subject to debate, additions and alteration but it's a good mix of songs that will hopefully cover different genres and styles and also allow for different levels of ability and confidence on stage.

PLEASE suggest any alternatives and alterations. Input from you guys is what will help drive this and ultimately help everyone enojy themselves on the night.

To be honest Tony i am so much in the planning stage and this thread is really for the input and discussion so i can try to make this suitable for everyone, or at least as many people as possible.

Once i have things finalised i will do just that and either update the first post or make a separate announcement with solid dates and locations.

That's just the initial thoughts on a 'Resource List' that people can draw from.

I expect that list to double in size at least before it starts to take shape properly.

The posts here are limited in body size.

If someone could help me create a PDF and then tell me how to link to it so everyone can see the songs in one big list, that would be helpful.

Alnico · March 2015

Some more thoughts for more basic songs

Cross Section

High Heeled Sneakers

Chuck Berry

Jonny B Goode

No Particular Place to Go

The Nashville Teens

Tobacco Road

The Troggs

Wild Thing

T-Rex

20th Century Boy

The Kinks

You Really Got Me

Status Quo

Whatever you Want

Caroline

Two Way Traffic

Steppenwolf

The Pusher

Born to be Wild

Alnico · March 2015

........And if there are those willing to play it, i know the words (and the accents) to this one off by heart............

The Charlie Daniels Band

The Devil went down to Georgia

xmrchi · March 2015

@Alnico What a guy, you're doing the fretboard proud with this bud.

monofin · March 2015

Wow.
Would love to try for walsall and machester......... Work and general life pending.

Gonna have to re-learn to play standing up I suppose!

bigjon · March 2015

I am unlikely to be able to make the Cambridge date as that is the weekend for taking the children to three different camps.

bigjon · March 2015

Likeliest venue for Cambridge is the Boathouse on Chesterton Road / Mitcham's Corner. They've got a separate room you could book for the rehearsal and the gig, plus decent food /drink available from the main bar.

Alnico · March 2015

@bigjon
None of the dates are set in stone yet.
If enough people need me to shift a date one week, one way or the other that can be done at this point before things start getting booked.
Anyone else in the Cambs area need the date altering?
Thanks for the tip on the venue.
As soon as I've got some more opinions on the date I will give them a call.

mike_l · March 2015

Can I suggest Another Brick PT2 for the set list?

Alnico · March 2015

@Mike_I
Consider it done.
Great suggestion.

jonnybradford · March 2015

Howdo,

That's one hell of a set list.

All being well, I will be at the Walsall and Manchester dates, and almost certainly some of the others.

I'm in Peterborough a fair bit at the moment, so Cambridge should be ok, unless you move it to the 18th as I have a gig that night.

Hope to see some of you at @Lloyd NW Jam in Manchester next month

Howdy, Stranger!
