What's the process for nominating songs to play?  Ta.

 £10 per song to me

All of a sudden I feel motivated to familiarise myself with the existing set list ;)

I’m hoping for future events we’ll get Andy back to full health, and maybe FastEddies son Harley would like to come back and take on more songs - he was great sitting in last weekend. That will give a wider range of songs we can cover on drums and allow more new stuff.

Then I can help out on vocals, as Rob and Darren have had to do loads to cover that recently.

...also I want it known,  I did play as many notes as Ben,   just took me 12 minutes longer...

You played that cool slide down in the rhythm part of All Right Now perfectly. That's worth 10,000 notes for attention to detail.

We already have a pretty collaborative group, but potentially having three drummers is just incredible.

@Jonathangus how is Andy? 

Well, he's doing lots of physio, and I think he's improving slightly - but not enough to get back behind a kit AFAIK.  I guess we could have a whip-round and get him a new hip.  About a grand each ought to cover it...

@onlyonebradders?

We could change venue - these places are usually quite warm....

Terrifyingly accurate!

Not really, there are women at that event :)

Although, they're closer in age to me, than the rest of you.

If I am remembering it accurately, Water Rats could be a good winter venue (modern building). Appreciate that Woking won't suit everyone in this thread, but believe some are interested in the jam that @Neilybob is currently working on.
