The Factory Studios have booked us in so we can go ahead, if we can go ahead, if that makes sense

Did you have to pay a deposit and, if so, do you need any money yet? 

nickp

no deposit yet and no money yet thanks   I guess we'll have to make a decision by say mid August if we are going ahead - which will depend on the state of the state

Thanks for getting in touch with them!

@nickp - thank you Nick

Time to restart the setlist discussion - chipping in You're All That I Have by Snow Patrol

Just realised the proposed date is now only 5 weeks away and theres been very little discussion on songs, logistics. Is this jam likely to go ahead? If so might be worth getting the title updated with the date and starting a songs list.

Who is organising the event?

stratman3142

I wonder whether 5 weeks time might be a bit early given where we are now.

Yeah to be honest I’ve been busy on a recording project and not really practicing enough

I took zero posts over the past month as a possible indicator of sentiment (against holding the event in September)?

I think I'm reluctant as we are the main support/carers for my elderly mother in law who's really ill so we are keeping outside contact to a minimum so I'd have to pass the booking baton to someone else.  At the moment we are pencilled in with th studio so it wouild be good to either let them know asap or for another volunteer to be in charge of talking to them

I'll have to count myself out for the moment given the uncertainties. Sorry about that.

I’m afraid I’d also have to pull out if we keep the Sept 12th date, as my other commitments now clash with that, sorry! 

Would be keen to join in if it ends up re-scheduled to a later date. 

Brocco

It's looking like it may be best to reschedule as currently there are only 7 of us still committed to 12th September?

nickp

shall I cancel then as it's probably best to give the studio chance to re-book?  

spark240

I think so....thanks for the efforts.

nickp

cancelled for the time being until covid fecks the feck off

I really appreciate you trying to organise this. It's the right decision for the moment.
