@mrkb the booking is for 9-5 but we can change this to 10-6 if we prefer. I said to leave it for now unless there is a preference in the group for the later time

Thanks - Ive got a 2 1/4 hour drive to get there so 10 is better for me, but can get there for 9.30 if majority prefer a 9am start.

If we've got the room from 9, those of us that are local can spend the first hour or so getting drum kits and amps set up, with a view to starting around 10-ish.

...I can do the rhythm on Symphony of Destruction and I'm confident you can play a face melting solo @stratman3142, there are no key changes in the solo and it's in E

I've just made a chart for myself for Symphony Of Destruction, so I can help out on rhythm. I'll have to improvise a solo on the spot though as I'll never remember the original, so don't build your hopes up

I shouldn’t worry too much… I’m guaranteed to f*** up in the half time bits!

Ironically I've memorised the solo but I can't fucking play it (!)

That's a good idea

If we're looking to pad out the song list Pretty Vacant was fun last time

stratman3142

Pretty Vacant, Teenage Kicks, Rocking In The Free World and Wishing Well are all possible simple options if someone can sing them.

Brocco

Although a soul song, Knock On Wood could be a good option to busk on the day. Clapton and Bowie have both done covets, and we could extend the shuffle in A and E for some extended soloing. 

Would be happy to play on Wishing Well again, and take a turn in the band for Teenage Kicks and Rocking In The Free World.

Sunshine Of Your Love could be another option for busk8ng on the day.

Brocco

Logistics: how is the parking at Firebird?    I'll aim to be there for 9.

There's a final song list at the end of this post. I'll print off a few copies to bring with me.

I've put @mrkb down as lead on 'Die Laughing Therapy'

I've put myself down as lead guitar on 'Symphony Of Destruction'

I'm assuming @roberty can do both vocals and guitar on 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love'

I think that just leaves 'Dr Feelgood' and 'Girls Girls Girls' as lacking a guitarist. I might be able to blag my way through those on guitar if someone can do bass, but it will be a bit rough because I haven't worked on the guitar parts.

Remember anyone can play on a song they're not down for, because we can do multiple run throughs.

No - Im singing and rhythm - so Jonathangus can do his proper guitar bits.

Sorry, I misread your earlier post.

Here's a corrected version.  Again, just a reminder that we can flex things on the day, now we've got this to work from.

There'll be no one there at 9. Plenty of space. It's in a fenced in industrial area

100% chance I can attempt it, 80% chance I can pull it off

Vibetronic

Sorry, tried and failed with last ditch attempt to get my sister to babysit (she's out all day). Hope you all have a great day and get some good footage so I can at least watch after the event!

@digitalscream can you unpin this now please. 

Brocco

How does a September date suit everyone for the next one?
