@spark240 - many thanks. I had you down for lead on Just What I Needed - any other lead roles amongst these tracks?

quick question for @bobblehat - I have moved you from lead to rhythm for Hard To Handle and just wanted to check I have got that right?

yep

Brocco

updated list in first post - one or two lead spots still open, but it's mostly bass and vox roles that we need to fill

Sorry to mess everyone around but there's a risk I might not be able to make it owing to family commitments. However, I still hope to make it. I won't know until about a couple of weeks before the date. I won't want my money back.

In the mean time, I'm generating some chord charts because my memory is crap these days.
PM me with your email if anyone wants copies of the chord charts I'm generating.

@Brocco - Nick has put himself up for vocals of required on -

 Cars
Crows
Rocks
Jet
Supergrass
J Jackson
B Jovi

@spark240 - that is great to hear and helps us 

Could I also nudge you to confirm if any of your guitar roles will be lead (other than Just What I Needed where I had you down for lead already)?

Not unless your stuck and I might have a go

I have updated the list in the first post based on responses so far, and you will see that we are making progress. I have started to duplicate tracks where we have enough interest for more than one run through of a track, although some key gaps do still remain. Suggest we make another decision this weekend on the potential removal of further tracks, by when I hope everyone will have chimed in!

Sorry I missed a couple for Nick...Im sure he will do The Jam

Vibetronic

I’ll hopefully chip in properly in the next day or 2 (and pay!). Baby teething at the moment is not good for sleep/free time/wife’s mood!!

I'm not sure if anyone else has been having problems with this. I've been driving myself nuts tryng to work out the timing of the two intro guitar parts for Cold Hard Bitch. I believe they've clipped the start as a timing confuser in the version posted on Spotify.

Anyway things became much clearer when I found this acoustic version. Hopefully it helps others.

It’s a bit confusing because the bass drum is on the 3 not the 1… it’s doing my head in too as the drummer!

@onlyonebradders during the intro from bar 9, I'm hearing the kick and bass on the 2 and 4. But when that part comes in again towards the end of the song I'm hearing the kick and bass on the 1 and 3. It's really doing my head in as well. There's lots of opportunity for unintentional rhythmic displacement

Brocco

There are several tracks which are a long way from having a full band, and as we said we would make a decision this weekend on what additional tracks would be dropped, have tagged everyone as this is probably your last opportunity to save tracks that still do not have at least one full band line-up by putting your name down for an open role:

@stratman3142, @bobblehat, @Funkfingers, @Handsome_Chris, ;;;@nickp, @roberty, @mart, @Vibetronic, @spark240, @Jonathangus, @onlyonebradders, @nicos236

@Brocco I've just PM'd you.

Te song list seems to have gone a bit haywire for me ....I mean I can't tell who's doing what

Brocco

okay, suggesting that we drop Bathroom Wall, Rock of Ages, Rebel Rebel, London Calling, The One I Love, Under The Bridge and Johnny B. Goode, as each of these tracks has only two band roles filled, which has remained the case for sometime. 

In terms of the remaining tracks (see the updated list in the first post), it probably makes sense to consider these to be our provisional setlist. Key roles that remain unfilled in this shorter list include vox for You Really Got Me, Talk Dirty To Me and Since You've Been Gone, and lead guitar on Hard To Handle and Rocks. Several bass roles also remain unfilled.
