Ahh that's a shame. 

Neilybob

Surely there has got to be more rehearsal space around. 

Any one had any experience anywhere? 

Neilybob

What about Power House studio's in Weybridge? Not too far from Water Rats. 

Thinking of booking rooms 4 & 5. 

Please let me know what you think?

Or Silent Hill studios slightly south of Woking near Guildford. 

I think it's a little cheaper than Powerhouse.

Or we move the session to a Sunday and do Water Rats?

Probably no help at all but I am cool with any of the 3 options.

Do we want one big room like at Factory/Firebird?  Room 6 at Powerhouse might be okay.

The feelings I've got is people like the idea of a jam session and also a separate room for gear demos.

Still in for any weekend date in May. All venues mentioned look great - thanks @Neilybob ;

Any thoughts on the drumming? Are there any other people attending who can drum?
I can only learn four new songs max on drums, as I’ve got other things on over next few months, and I don’t know any of the currently proposed songs.

I can drum a bit, I've had lessons but it was a while ago and not much opportunity to practice at home atm.

I might be able to take on one or two of the simpler arrangements, need to listen to the tracks in detail!

It wouldn't be a completely (or even remotely) accurate performance though  

FastEddie

I am clear that day, if there is space for one more.
 I'll get Harley along for drumming.
Is there a song list yet?

I am happy with Sunday at WR or any of the other locations Neil.

Neilybob

Whoop whoops! Drummers! Thanks @FastEddie and @TeleKinesis ;

I got round to creating a song list from what’s been proposed so far. 

If you would like to fill in and do any roles please let me know. 

@FastEddie song list so far. 

Happy to take more song suggestions. 

We are also going to have a separate room for a gear demos.

I've been mucking about today to a backing track of Hendrix's 'Who Knows' and I reckon it would be lots of fun for a bunch of people to play on so maybe swap that for I Feel Free, which I'd actually have to learn!

As for Alive, only if anyone else fancies being a Stone Gossard to my McCready otherwise happy for it to go.

Sundays or Saturday is fine . Woking Guildford or Weybridge is fine

So long as there is no real widdling, I'll be your wingman.

Nice

Weybridge is easy for me & Guildford should also be fine.   I’m not sure when the A3 / M25 Wisley interchange work finishes - but if it’s still going on in May and they shut a motorway it could really get in the way of getting to Guildford.

Do you book all day, or is there a time you normally book from and to?

@Neilybob ; I will have a crack at vocals on Ramada Inn too.  IIRC it's (mostly) in G.
