I was thinking maybe we can just have a bunch of backing tracks or jam track for messing about with if the rest is a pain.

Happy to do that.

 If we do that do we still want to have 2 rooms?

Might make a dropbox folder and share the ones I have.

That's a great idea.

I've messaged our drummer to see if he fancies joining us for a drum. Will confirm asap.

Sadly an immoveable cricket fixture has sunk my plans to attend.
I had put my hand-up for 'Alive' by Pearl Jam. 

Have a great day.

No worries. Knock 'em for six.

Did we make a decision on the playing side of things? 

Genuinely easy either way. I seem to have lost my drive with all my backing track on it but I'm sure it resurface.

Totally up to the majority tbh. 

We need to make that decision about 4 weeks out and either cancel the large room we have booked and book a smaller second room for gearfesting. 

What do people think?

No worries, thanks for letting me know. Maybe catch you on the next one.

Sorry for being a bit quiet - still up for this and looking forward to it!

Happy with anything really, but main interest is playing. Would like a shot at the songs I offered on guitar, could offer a bit of crap drums or bass if necessary. I haven't got any backing tracks I'm afraid (where do people usually get them?)

Don't have anything very unusual in terms of gear, but would be interested in what other people have.

Me too. Apologies for not adding any songs. Trying to think of simple but fun jam songs..

I’m looking forward to meeting you all, and flexible about what we do as long as it involves plugging in guitars!

I've put Sweet Home cos it's so ple chords.  I put Sweet Chikd cos ita simple chords and some of you might like the solo opportunut. It's also the same chords. I put Can't You See cos it's even simpler and the same 3 chords and the solo is pretty easy for many /most  people (amd it doesn't really matter what you play over it.
At least one of them ought to work
We need simple songs like this cos at the moment none of us is volunteering fpr anybody elses songs

We're gonna need circa 10 songs.
But with all that we are struggling without a drummer and a bassist.  Bass we might get away with if we all pick one and just play the chord notes - probably ok if someone has a bass to bring ?

But drums - that's the hard bit.  I could hit a snare drum roughly in time but add other drums and feet too and I might as well be rubbing my stomach and patting my head

Whatsour numbers now and cost with the dropouts ?

We do have drummers from @TeleKinesis , @mrkb ; and @FastEddie son Harley. 

We are 17 strong so £135 / 17 = £7.95 each.

Definitely need more song suggestions.
