    Happy to Boss :)

    I'm running about quite a bit today but I'll sit down tomorrow, get my head around who, where, what and start prodding

    Happy to do venue liaison and also play some rhythm guitar and sing on the day.

    Can ask a drummer friend if he's free - what would the budget be for drums?

    Sadly I'm running my own event here in Brighton (not guitar related) so I can't be there, otherwise I'd have been happy to take on a role and to get strumming, plucking and noise making with everyone...  :/

    Just suggested to Fandango that I start programming for the day. 

    We are there 10-6pm so giving an hour to setup and the same to pack away, we have 6 ‘usable’ hours from 11-5pm. 

    How about 8 x 45min slots in each of the rooms? 
    Room 1 - recording 
    Room 2 - prep for recording
    Room 3 - workshops and acoustic sessions

    Have people signed up for the workshops? Might be worth checking who’s going to them to ensure they are worth running. No point using a room for one or two people, could be done in a hang out area if there’s only one or two people doing them. Is there an area to chat in the studio complex?
    Karma......

    Hi Rob...My experience of previous Jam days says that you will be lucky to get 6 x 45m slots in 6 hours, ...of course me helping as musical director will help enormously when it comes to getting everyone in place on time ;-)

    Depends how many songs we end up fitting into the 45m slot..

    I was thinking 45 mins per song which would give us 8 songs! How many songs do you normally get done at a jam?

    For a rough guide, 15-20 minutes is ample time to get a recording done, even with 2 or 3 takes. That's how it usually pans out at Sasquatch 

    We've done 12-15 in a day before.

    Yep, the key thing is for people to turn up knowing the song, it’s not about learning the song on the day, that wastes time. Ideally get a few runs through with the band to finesse timing in another room first if possible. We lost a bit of time at the last jam as the drummer hadn’t practiced the 7/8 timing in “times like these” so we had three aborted runs trying to get it coordinated.
    Karma......

    Now, you know why I did not nominate any Zappa compositions.  :)
