Western Jam, Saturday 2nd October, 2021 -- Factory Studios, Bristol

Brocco

it may be an idea for those intending to input their nominated tracks directly into the google sheet to also 'advertise' them here in this discussion so everyone is aware

@HCDavies - cheers. It's only by members nominating which tracks (other than their own suggestions) they wish to play on will the list of tracks get refined. Regarding Just What I Needed, please could you confirm which band part are you up for: vox, lead, bass, etc.

I happy to do Bass or Rhythm and backing vox for Just What I Needed, I'll try lead vox if no one else wants it.

Also some guitar on Rock of Ages and Detroit Rock City

HCDavies

Oh and I'll like to play and sing on Rebel Rebel.

As I suggested it , I'll sing and play lead.Happy for you to take the lead  Brocco if you want.

I'll also sing on my other suggestion "Rocks" an  play Rhythm.

Happy to have a go at singing some others if you cant get any volunteers. No Metal though 

Brocco

Just to remind everyone that tracks which have high demand will be performed more than once, which tends to create opportunities for those who would like to perform in the house band on any given track on more than one instrument, as well as giving everyone an opportunity to play the tracks they are most interested in, so don't be put off if all band roles seem to be taken

China Girl

Which version? The Idiot or Let's Dance? (Some times, it is hard to believe that they are the same song.)

I can't sing so I'm happy with that.

Brocco

Based on as recorded on Lets Dance, 

roberty

Hi I'm happy to play guitar or bass and/or sing on basically anything. I have a strong preference for Richard III out of the songs suggested so far

Vibetronic

will try and post suggestions today, but like @roberty , happy to play guitar lead/rhythm/whatever on anything  

HCDavies

So I need a lead solo on China Girl, who is up for that? I can do the odd fill, but to sing and play rhythm and lead is beyond me.
 
I don't even mind if my rhythm is (mainly) way down in the mix, but it helps me sing in time.

Do we have drumer is the question I cannot see an answer to?

Brocco

@HCDavies - in terms of dedicated drummers we have @onlyonebradders (some of the other attendees can also play drums and may like to volunteer to play drums on specific tracks). Obviously we do need attendees to say what specific band roles they would like (don't be shy!).

Regarding my own song suggestions (Cold Hard Bitch and Just What I Needed) do we have a volunteer for vox, and on Just What I Needed, do we have a volunteer for lead guitar?

I’ll do lead on cars?….if Nickos comes he will do Vox
