Northampton Jam Session - Sunday 3rd December - 1 to 5pm

mrkb

I’ve used it before. There isn’t any reserved parking and it’s on an industrial unit estate, but I think we will all be OK at 1pm on a Sunday. There is key code access, but the owner might be there as well - he was when I went. There’s very limited options in Northampton- Audio Works by the train station only has two parking spaces and only has 3 smaller rooms.

I think we should be covered - theres a PA, guitar and bass amps and drumkit provided in each room - with performing lights in the main room!

http://www.stalkersstudio.co.uk/ - we have the Blackstar and Carter rooms

Kit wise people are bringing:-

@brocco bringing a Matchless Lightning 15w

@spark240 bringing a Kemper

@darthed1981 bringing a Katana 50

@impmann bringing a Hot Rod Deluxe

@thorpyfx bringing a pedalboard of goodies and a prototype amp

Suggest people bring a guitar stand for each guitar as per Leicester.

Will get the song and attendees list updated tonight - had a busy weekend sorry!

In addition to guitar(s) I'm just bringing my mini cube practice amp and maybe a couple of home-made FX pedals.

Cool.

OK,

Song update - I hope this is correct - let me know if not.

I don't have @strumjoughlamps or @adampeter down for any songs yet - let me know what you fancy joining in on.

Also have two singing slots available - Alive and Fortunate Son if anyone fancies helping out.

Will add a few more jam songs - anyone else fancy joining in on Broccos suggestions - Tush by ZZ Top  and Country Girl by Primal Scream ?

impmann

Tush - yeah! Gives me a chance to break out my bottleneck!

You'll ruin that goldtop with that sort of behaviour

Good God I've got to get some practice in, work is just throwing all my time out the window. 

Alnico

I'm up for Tush and if that sounds wrong you don't know me well enough!
lol.

I can sing that one too.
Brilliant suggestion.

Didn't realise this was happening.
I'm happy to split bass duty or fill in the blank spots for guitar. 
Is the song list finalised?

Apart from the first three, pick a few songs and take bass duty on them so I can have a break

meltedbuzzbox

Can I suggest come together by the beatles? That's pretty straight forward and good fun.

@Bridgehouse happy to split them however fella

Ok, I'll have a look tomorrow and shoot some suggestions over

impmann

Yay! Good to have you along Jack!

Brocco

Come Together is a great shout.

Just a thought, but could we do a little Christmas performance?  Merry Xmas Everybody is pretty straightforward if I recall and we could video it as a forum Christmas recording?

Could be any Xmas song, you can do the James Dean Bradfield TGI Friday Last Christmas on an acoustic as well.

Just a thought as we are doing it in December!

mrkb

Im sure we can fit @meltedbuzzbox in - theres been radio silence from @mike_l and @strumjoughlamps for a few weeks and they haven't selected any songs so I'm assuming they are no shows. @adampeter still needs to let me know what he wants to play on.

That makes a core of 13 musicians playing songs and @Thorpyfx as pedalmaster in chief - should be fun!

Will add Tush to the Jam track list - I drummed to that tonight and I liked it.

Not sure about Come Together as I'd need to work out a basic drum beat for it as its a bit complex for me to just jam along on and the drum part is a key part of the song.

Any more Jam song suggestions?

Actually you're welcome to do anything you want - I'll be recording the songs on a zoom, so we can put something together if you want.

If enough want to put together a Band Aid style 12 man band ensemble I'll join in. Anyone bringing some slay bell antlers and a Christmas jumper?

strumjoughlamps

Yeah it’s gonna be a no for me, I had it in my head it was on a Saturday. 

mrkb

@strumjoughlamps - Ok thanks for letting me know. Hope you can make the next one.
