There's no hurry kimnjess.

Anytime before the 9th would do.

Keyzer · 30-01-2009 2:32pm

Probably best to keep posting in here for details on where and when to meet etc.

So anything booked yet?

kimnjess · 30-01-2009 2:45pm

Still waiting for a PM back.

You can have a free ticket kwhen we play the House of Blues...

Bassplayer72 · 30-01-2009 9:56pm

Hey guys,
Do you still need bass? PM me if this is a runner.

kimnjess · 30-01-2009 11:00pm

Hey Bassplayer we do have bass but there's been so much interest in this that if another drummer comes along there would be enough musicians for 2 separate jams.

kimnjess · 30-01-2009 11:13pm

Ok guys I've booked http://www.jamfactory.ie It looks like an ok place, I booked one of the big rooms because there could be a lot of us. I contacted the other two places but they are slow to get back and I don't want to leave it too late. Anyone been to The Jamfactory before??

Superb - I'll be there but might not make it till about 6PM.

Really looking forward to this now.

Whats the lineup so far?

kimnjess · 02-02-2009 12:27pm

The people that have confirmed that they are definitely coming are:

Kimnjess - Guitar
Keyzer - Guitar
Rigsby - Bass
Standunnecv - Vocals/guitar
Mixd98 - Drums

The others that have shown interest have not confirmed that they will be there, it would be great if they could let us know before Monday.

mixd_98 · 02-02-2009 12:41pm

kimnjess · 02-02-2009 12:58pm

Lads The Jamfactory is not the Naas Rd venue it's on James St., check the link I put up for directions.

Rigsby · 02-02-2009 1:25pm

Here's the link again so there's no confusion.

You are more than welcome.

This is just a casual jam BTW. We are not playing the "House of Blues"............. just yet.

mremanuelepisu · 03-02-2009 3:26pm

ok,i will be there on 9 Febr. at 18 .

Tommy the Cat · 03-02-2009 5:58pm

Sounds like the making of a great band, good luck chaps.

kimnjess · 03-02-2009 9:44pm

Stan, like Rigsby says this is a casual jam, don't be killing yourself learning the songs note for note. I just kinda know the songs, there'll be a lot of improv from me.

04-02-2009 1:56am

probably ill sound like all of them.

Keyzer · 04-02-2009 10:19am

Really looking forward to this I have to say...

Was listening to La Grange yesterday - cool song.

Yes, but playing what instrument

We still dont know. The suspense is killing me

not yet · 04-02-2009 12:43pm

Guys if you want a brilliant blues number try...I would rather go blind.

Original by Etta James but covered by loads of guys. Have A listen and tell me what you think. 2 simple chords. with loads of riffs.

kimnjess · 04-02-2009 1:42pm

I love that song. I had n't heard it for years and it was played at a blues gig last night. Here's my favourite cover of it by Chicken Shack.

We could do an Allman Brothers Band setup - two drummers playing simultaneously...

Turn up anyway, why not...

Rigsby · 06-02-2009 4:33pm

BTW if anyone has the nominated tracks on cd ect and a player, it might be a good idea to bring them along. I can bring "Have you heard.."

I have them all on my laptop/ipod, I can hook it up to the PA system in the room and play them through that.

Looking forward to this - evryone better turn up or you officially have a vagina...
