    Im doing my leaving certificate music practical at the end of March and its worth like 50% so I was just wondering if anybody has any good suggestions for songs to play at it, cuz I want to have a good setlist. Im looking for just a few really enjoyable songs. I dont want to pick anything too hard as if the examiner sees me struggling he'll dock me marks.
    The songs ive already come up with are :

    Joe Satriani - Always with me, Always with you
    Five For Fighting - Superman
    The Beatles - Blackbird
    Eriic Clapton - Tears in Heaven.

    Helpful suggestions would be much appreciated!!!

    Im just playing the guitar but there will be a singer in there with me too. He has a very stong voice and hes really good. Hesnot too keen on using falsetto but he can hit some very high notes.

    Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer
    Bob Dylan - Don't think twice it's alright.

    Good luck.

    Id try and steer clear of well known songs. Odds are the examiner has heard them done better before. Plus if the examiner doesn't know the song you can cover any small mistakes you might make. And remember your pieces must not be longer than 23 minutes (or something like that) in total.

    You probably should've put alot more thought into this earlier, I've had my pieces chosen since last October.
