    The performer running order could be determined by drawing lots. No list for me to organise.  3

    +1 for Rocks - Primal Scream.

    im playing and singing that at the Woking jam in two weeks, happy to play on that again and just play the rhythm bits and might learn a few of the horns bits on guitar.

    will think of my suggestions, is there a list/google sheet of what’s proposed so far?
    Karma......

    There is a list. It resides in an Excel spreadsheet in my Mac. At present, to look at the spreadsheet for very long risks snow blindness.

    I do not subscribe to Google. Therefore, I cannot provide a Google sheet.

    Here's a thought - in addition to nominating songs that we would like to play on, how about we also suggest tracks we would like to hear performed by a 'house' band (in the hope that some make onto the final tracklist)?  

    My personal nominations would be:
    Janis Joplin - Move Over (Slade version)
    CSNY - Almost Cut My Hair
    Steve Winwood - Arc Of A Diver

    Interesting choice. (It is always nice to get some Vivian Stanshall material aired.)

  • My suggestions of Iron Man and Alive are perhaps a bit ambitious... the arrangements aren’t simple unless your really familiar with them, and I’m not certain I could pull them off with a band. Shall I suggest some more or wait for others?

    Yeah man I'm totally into doing some iron man! Classic. What about ace of spades?? If we're on proto-metal

    1979 smashing pumpkins could be fun, that's my vocal range

    Ambitious is good. Better to fail in an attempt to play something tricky than to be timid and, literally, play safe on every song on the list.

    Different attendees require different challenges. There must be plenty of Pop and Rock three-chord trick songs that would segue into each other. The transitions between them are ideal opportunities for different contributors to take a solo.

    Ok cool, lets do ironman!

     1979’s a good choice, do you tune down to Eb as on the record?

    Ok, sounds good. I’ll give em a go if anyone else is up for them. I like your positive attitude! I’ve put myself up for a few now, I‘ll wait to see which ones the curators choose.

    My attitude is that, if subscribers network with each other at this stage, they should arrive at the event thoroughly prepared. 

    The event has to cater for a range of abilities. The degree of difficulty will vary during the day. It would be nice to begin with something impressive.

    From experience it’s good to start with something simple, and maybe slightly shambolic, but end with something impressive. That way the newcomers don’t think “ oh shit, everyone’s better than me” before they’ve even played a chord, but go away inspired to get better having felt at ease about their playing.

    Something else that we need to consider is the skills workshop that @Alnico has kindly offered to run, how this relates to the final tracklist, running order et al.

    That's what I was going to discuss with you this weekend.

    A loose sketch of it could be that those who want to sit in for the workshop, do so first while those who don't want or need to watch a lesson, go and perform.
    Then when the workshop is finished, those who've sat through it can go and use what they just learned and perform themselves.

    That's just a rough idea, I'm happy to work around whatever people want.

    I was looking at 1 hour, split into 15 minute "modules" for want of a better word, with an ensemble jam for 20 minutes at the end, using as much of what we've been talking about and explaining as possible.

    I *can* make that longer, quite easily in fact but I'm wary of it being "too much" for some.
    At the end of the session if anyone wants to go back over something 1-2-1 or wants to know more about a subject, I'll be free for that too.
    My aim for the day there is to run this workshop and help out across the board.
    Unless needed I won't be performing.
