Suggestions please - 1 hr acoustic gig

BossArky · 2009-06-25 12:39:02

I've got a 1 hr acoustic guitar gig on Monday evening next - just playing some background music at a drinks reception. Can you suggest songs you think work well as instrumentals? I already have a good few songs which I could play (non instrumentals)... but would like further ideas. Thanks.
