@spark240 yes mate do

So we are now upto 10 confirmed. 

Let's start talking dates?

I see we need to avoid 25th and 26th February due to the guitar show. Also I believe a Saturday is the best day to book. 

Shall we stick with February to give everyone (actually me the most!) the time to learn songs? If we are all happy with February then that leaves Saturday 4th, 11th or 18th February. 

Who can do any of those dates?

At the moment I'm OK for Feb 4, 11 and 18. I prefer the 11 and 18th.

Crazed_Fandango

I'm ok with those dates.

onlyonebradders

Ok at the moment for Feb, provided the list of songs is agreed early since us drummers tend to have to learn most of them.

roberty

Fine by me

I hear you! 

bobblehat

Feb dates good for me.

Bennyboy-UK

Morning all, at the moment, the February dates are good for me as well.

Vibetronic

Dates all fine with me!

mrkb

I don’t have a calendar for next year yet, so they must be ok for me as well.

Brocco

Feb 18th likely to be difficult (family birthday)

Neilybob

Looks like 11th February seems to be firm date with all that replied. 

Time for song requests?! What do you want to play? 

@stratman3142 you ok to capture song requests and add them to a spreadsheet please? 

Jonathangus

Count me in.

(None of you is being expected to take the missus out for a meal at vastly inflated prices, I assume.  )

Anyway, a few suggestions for something we haven't done before:

Terrorvision - Celebrity Hit List

Therapy? - Die Laughing

Volbeat - Fallen (this is in D standard)

I’m up for anything off Troublegum, one of my very favourite albums. I still know Screamager and Nowhere off by heart!

@onlyonebradders and I will both agree with you on that one.

OK. Should we start with limiting ourselves to three suggestions each, then see which ones get takers.

My song choices are

Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy
Paradise City - Guns n Roses

Runnin' Down a Dream - Tom Petty 

Happy to play rhythm guitar on these or bass.

Jail Break and Paradise City are both tuned dowm a semitone. So we'll need to decide whether we'll play them in the key track sounds or a semitone higher. When I start the song list I'll put question against those songs until we get a vocalist, so they can decide.
