OK I've removed @Bennyboy-UK from Nothing But A Good Time, Dr Feelgood and Girls Girls Girls.

Nothing But A Good was left with no takers, so I've removed it from the list.

Dr Feelgood and Girls Girls Girls are left with @Vibetronic on guitar. @Vibetronic are you OK to cover those? Does anyone want to play 2nd guitar?

Does anyone want to do vocals on the following three, then I expect we could rustle up a bass player.

Die Laughing
Fallen

Is it time to consider dropping Yankee Rose as we've only got @Vibetronic as a taker at the moment?

When we've had a bit of a clear out, perhaps it might be time to think of a few other simple jam songs.

Happy to revisit any from last jam that Ive already learnt if needed.

I was wondering about Keep Your Hands To Yourself and Tush as they're basically just 12 bar songs.
Maybe Hard To Handle and Fortunate Son, as they're easy and well known.

Those would involve you or @bobblehat on vocals.

Yep, and I'd be happy to cover bass where needed on those.

OK, sod it.  If @Vibetronic can take the main guitar parts on Die Laughing, I'll do some vocals.  Which will involve singing and playing at the same time, which could be interesting...

I've updated the song list at the end of this post.

We just need a bass player for Die Laughing now. I'll do it if there are no other takers, but someone else can have a go it they want to, because I'm already down for a few on bass.

I've also added Keep Your Hands To Yourself, Tush, Hard To Handle and Fortunate Son.
Are there any takers for vocals on those? Plus is @onlyonebradders OK for drums on those as he played them last time.
I'll do lead guitar unless anyone else wants to do it.

It's not too late. And you can put yourself down for any of the songs that have a full lineup, because we can do multiple run throughs of the same song with different lineups.

I do aim to come down,  but remove me from any "singing" I may have put me hand up for,  Ive still got this lurgy Ive had for weeks, and I cant see me doing anything but coughing if I try and sing if it doesnt improve

I'll chuck a guitar in the back of me car in case there's any "ad hoc" shenanigans  if that's OK ? 

(dont worry I wont turn up if Im still bad)

Have been looking at Let’s Dance, and there’s a section that’s just bongos and drums. Is anyone planning on doing the bongo part

Whenever I've played it in bands, I've just continued the rhythm guitar part through that section. No bongos, unless anyone fancies having a go.
