    Yep we borrowed a shell kit last time for the practice room. I brought kick pedal and cymbals.
    Karma......

    @nickp - as no-one has yet indicated a preference for Sunday, suggest that we go ahead and make the booking for the first Saturday available (2nd Oct). Last time we had to pay to hire a drum kit, but maybe worth trying to sweet talk Factory into throwing it in  ;)

    Going to go with Get The Funk Out - Extreme, and Hot For Teacher - Van Halen (though appreciate the drums on the latter are difficult). Will take a look at the spreadsheet and try to update if needed.
    I’ll play the drums on Eruption instead!
    haha :) Had another listen and it is a bit ridiculous actually. We do it in my band but haven't rehearsed for over a year, so I didn't really remember how complex it was. I'll choose something else  =)

    Just to ask are we starting "Just What I Needed" with the E chord? Also Rock of Ages, we're not going to detune to Eb for that are we. On RoA I'm happy to do bass if no one else want's to.

    @nickp - thanks Nick. Once it's booked and we know the total cost, we can decide what we each contribute

    HCDavies - yes, Just What I Needed will start on E

    Rock of Ages is in E standard on the track, no?  (I think they tune down live these days because Joe Elliott.)

    I've just emailed Factory studios to confirm the booking as 9am till 6pm on the 2nd October (Saturday) - live room and the lounge.  Hope they will reply fairly quickly so I can confirm for sure

    @nickp - thanks Nick. Have updated the discussion header with the provisional date and also added a link to the Factory website to the first post

    @Brocco ; all booked - there were a few errors their end so it's 9am until 5.30pm and it was £155 for both rooms (she forgot to price in the lounge).  So we have the live room and the Lounge.  I have paid.  Saturday 2 October confirmed.

    @nickp - thank you Nick -- discussion header and first post now reflect this.

    We currently have 17 names down, so suggest that we each pay Nick £10 (to allow for one or two people potentially withdrawing). Assuming everyone is ok with that, please reimburse Nick as soon as you can so he is not out of pocket (Nick please could you confirm your paypal details).

    @Brocco ; - is that best done on PM or on the songlist?  rahher than splash my work email on here??  

    I should take a look at the songlist as it will encourage me to pick up guitar which has been dormant for about 6 weeks :(

    @nickp - noted - rather than you having to chase us up individually, perhaps it would be best if everyone sends you a PM so payments can be sorted

    This is probably the moment to start the discussion about how we will set up the live room (we need kit that can be used by the "house band") and get views on recording vs not recording (on a DIY basis). It would be ideal if someone with technical know-how could kindly volunteer to drive this aspect and coordinate set-up on the day.

    Various subscribers have stated that they are willing to play bass guitar on some of the nominated songs. This is not necessarily the same as actually bringing your own on which to play.

    My questions for those planning to bring a bass guitar to the event are;
    1) What make/model(s) will you be carrying on the day?
    2) Are you willing to let other attendees use your instrument(s) in anger?

    The intention is to avoid ending up with half a dozen of the same design. (i.e. Precision sporting elderly flatwound strings.) If I know what others will be bringing, I could bring something different.


    Be seeing you.
