I'm not worried about the guitar songs. But I seem to have ended up on bass for quite a few, so I've been practicing like mad on those. Hopefully, it's helped my bass playing and I manage to hang on in there on the day

Hi all,

I’m very sorry about giving you short notice but I can’t come on Sunday.

One of our cars was in for service work and sadly it’s terminal. 

We’ll be car looking urgently on Sunday now I’m afraid.

Sorry about this.
Ben.

Ah shame, was looking forward to saying hello. Sorry to hear about you car. That sounds very annoying!

Bennyboy-UK

It's typical. I'd done my homework really well as well!

Really sorry to hear that

I was hoping to steal some of your licks this time

Of the songs you were down for, we've already got cover for Just What I Needed and Talk Dirty To Me. So that's not a problem.

I happen to have a chart for Revel Yell so I can have a quick play through today and blag my way through that one. I'll have to improvise a solo, but maybe @Vibetronic would like to take the solo, as I'm sure he'll come up with something more impressive.

BahHumbug

Ooh, I've just had a quick review of the ones I said I'd do.......I'd better get practicing.  Eek!

BTW if the second guitar slot on London Calling is still empty, I can jump in on that.

Yes, it would be good if you take 2nd guitar on London Calling.

Is @RR50 still OK for both Vocals and Bass on London Calling. I imagine it might be a challenge to do both.

Never played or sung it before so Its going to be quite the adventure for us all!

Happy to give it a go!! My prep is limited to this afternoon, so I’ll try and get it vaguely down!

@BennyBoy-UK - really sorry you can’t make it mate, it was great meeting you last time. Fingers crossed the car hunt goes ok…one of my least favourite tasks!

There's another update at the end of this post and the 'Google Sheets' list has also been updated in @Brocco's original post in this thread. Let me know if there are any errors or anything I've missed.

Updates: 

@BahHumbug on 2nd guitar for London Calling

@Vibetronic and/or @stratman3142 on 1st guitar for Rebel Yell

Anyone can select a role that's already been taken, because we can do multiple run-throughs of songs with different line-ups. Also, anyone can take over from me on my bass roles if they want to.

Vibetronic

Cheers I'm roughly prepared. Should be there a bit later as usual at 11-12ish....hopefully nearer to 11.

mrkb

I’m mostly ready - will aim to get there for 10, but it’s a 2.5hr drive so might be a bit later.

Neilybob

Aiming to arrive 10:30ish. Looking forward to making some noise! 

Haych

Think I'm set.

• Guitar - check
• Strap - check
• Amp - check
• Lead - check
• Tuner - check
• Picks - check
• Spare strings - check
• Nerves - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
• Talent - ?

I'll be leaving about ten-ish, it's only a short hope over the bridge for me, should get there between 10:30 and 11:00.

Brocco

I'm aiming to be there by 9.30, hoping that the coffee shop will be open. Also looking forward to plugging my new axe in and hearing it at volume for the first time!

Neilybob

Whoop whoop! I'm heading to Brizzel to make lots of noise!
