@bobblehat I've updated the list based on your post. I'll wait for more replies before I post an updated list. Pointed noted about Lil Devil.

I’m ok with singing Lil devil in standard if that helps.

I'm assuming there'll be at least a couple of fixed bridge guitars available that people can borrow, so we can easily de-tune. Then you can both have a go at singing if you want to.

Fill your boots, My aging pipes find it a bit a of stretch at 10 in the morning! 

@roberty @Brocco ;; - Have we settled on a venue yet?

@bobblehat should I take you off singing Lil Devil? It should be no problem detuning the guitars (and bass) a semitone, if you want to take a turn at sing it.

bertie

its been 40 years since I last played it "in anger"............. but................ I might............... just be able to be persuaded to have a crack at JWIN  lead and vox  - I'll need to have a private run through and confirm later if thats OK ?

It'll be the solo only - not sure I can crack all the Elliot fill-ins but hey ho

If Wilf doesnt leave the house in disgust -we might be in

Oh - cheeky "ask"  will there be any back-line available ?  not sure I can "de-construct" my amp set up to move it

stratman3142

@bertie I've put you down for 'Just What I Needed' on vocals and lead solo (only). Are there any others you want to play on? @Brocco wants to play rhythm on that one. Does anyone want to play the little melodies and fills?

There should be plenty of amps. I plan to bring my HRD IV which you could use, unless you get a better offer.

bertie

@stratman3142 ;;  - thanks   

I'll have a more careful listen to the track  - see what I can "try" and pick up  re the flourishes/fills  (he's a clever bastard that Easton)

I'm not going to be able to make this any longer, it's a long way from home and there's with too much other stuff going on. Apologies, all the best with it

I like it at Firebird, been there three times now in as many weeks. Happy to book there if we have no objections

Been quite a hectic couple of weeks, just catching up on things now

Brocco

Is everyone okay with Firebird?

Jonathangus

Yup.  Go for it.

stratman3142

OK for me.

Crazed_Fandango

Covers I've played/jammed and enjoyed:
Rocking in the Free World - Neil Young
Teenage Kicks - Undertones
Pretty Vacant and Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols
Armed & Ready - MSG (I've sung this but the guitar is too riffy for me to do both)

I'd love to try some songs by (The) Sweet   Showing my age, but anyone else like them, or want to try a track?

I'm an (at best) average guitarist & vocalist. I don't mind not being on any of the tracks or not having mine selected, but would like to come along to the jam and meet some of you.

I was (pre pandemic) running some smaller jams at Factory/Firebird and would be keen to start this up again.

mrkb

Happy to drum on these (already know them) , and can provide guitar chord/lyric charts as well if needed

Rocking in the Free World - Neil Young
Teenage Kicks - Undertones

Can sing and guitar on Pretty Vacant if needed, and would be happy to learn on drums as well.

Brocco

Would also like to propose Strange Brew and Wishing Well

Fine by me

@Brocco I'm wondering how we manage the ever increasing list. Ideas from anyone are welcome on how we manage the list.

When people say they can play guitar on a song, it would be good to identify whether they just want to play rhythm or are happy to play lead (if there's any lead playing on that song).

 Perhaps I'll just post the list I've made so far and people who've said what role they can take.

well indeed, not sure youd class the "bit" in Wishing Well as "lead"
