    Point taken. With the way things ended up last time around I am going to do my best to ensure this thread runs smoothly.

    If nobody has any objections to using it I think we'll go with Blackpool. When do people want to do this, before or after Christmas?

    Well, at this point the 18th might be too close to organise some songs and learn them, so will we but it off till after Christmas? How about the 29th or the 30th (if they are even open then) or the first weekend in January, the 8th?

    So far, Wooden Jesus, backtobass and Crazybassplayer have said that they would go.

    Can we start sorting out songs as well? backtobass has suggested Californication. I'll have a think so some in the meantime. Maybe some simple songs that can be easily improvised to.

    hi again folks. As you said knifespoony . . Maybe the first week in january would be the best. Christmas would be out of the way and we d have a clear run at it. Some time to learn off songs mentioned that we night not know. What do everyone think.

    Right so, thought I'd give this a bump just to add some more songs. I'm thinking Cochise by Audioslave and Night Prowler by AC/DC, if that is cool?

    So, it is the 8th of January in Cork Rehersal Studios on Dublin Hill. StickyBandit, Backtobass, Wooden Jesus, Crazybassplayer and me so far, and other people are more than welcome. As a matter of interest, what do ye all play (as if the names weren't enough of a give away!)? I play guitar anyway.

    The song list so far is:

    1.Baba o Riley
    2.Enter Sandman
    3.Californication
    4.Cochise
    5.Night Prowler

    Anyone want to suggest some more songs? We'll have a four hour slot to play with.

    Nah man, age doesn't matter, just as long as you can play. Those songs should be fine as well.

    Cool man, thanks for signing up. Don't think we have that many axemen so far, just me, you and Wooden Jesus surprisingly. Looks like we have a nice mix of musicans so should be a good jam.

    By the way does anyone sing?

    Certainly for the first jam it's probably better to have too many people turn up rather than too few.

    Hiya,
    It would be nice to have a jam with you next time-i'm just back to Eire and like to sing and write songs. I'm learning guitar and tin whistle too-slowly! I'm living an hour from Cork. K.

    Cool, we have a good gang of musicans together now. As for the singing, you do not wanna hear me trying that, I'll stick to the auld six string. But, anyone else already going up for some singing, or would we even need a singer?

    KAnois you are welcome to come along, would you be up for playing guitar with us (don't think any of the songs we have has thin whistle in them!) or just sing along?

    Anyway, here's the complete song list (now with added links!):
    1. Baba o Riley
    2. Enter Sandman
    3. Californication
    4. Cochise
    5. Night Prowler
    6. I Wanna be Adored
    7. New Year's Day
    8. Rocking in the Free World (the Neil Young Version I presume?)
    9. Bad Penny

    I think that might be enough to keep us going for the four hours.

    To be honest this play list is not the kind of stuff I can sing or am into, apart from the Stone Roses. It will be fun for you though, have fun everybody!

    Well you know more than I do now. Really have to fight the will to veg out over the next couple of weeks and not leave the songs I don't know 'till the last minute.

    Really looking forward to this know, should be great crack. I'll book the place a week before hand and let ye know the cost then, but should be less than a tenner each given the numbers that we could have coming. Anyway, I don't think there is much more to say until then, so have a good Christmas lads.

    And merry xmas to all as well.........would i be right in saying most of ye lads have played in bands before? i played a bit in the early nineties in a band doing original stuff...played the drums...came to nothing but was great while it lasted.......playing the bass now last four years or so, no expert but competent enough......so can only improve playing with other musicians...hopefully:D

    Just a bump as I'm gonna go about booking this sometime this week. Gonna look for the 2- 6 slot this Saturday afternoon. The price for that time is €50, but given the amout of people that siad that they were interested, the price that we would each pay should be less than €10.

    So, can I just get a confirmation from people who are definatly going at this stage?

    Cool man, thanks for the reply.

    I hoping to book it tomorrow, but I would feel more comfortable doing so if more people replied and told me whether they are going or not. So, who is still in?
