I'm playing and singin @ a secret location in front of a few 100 in mid June. Should be fun. I did a fairly big impromptu fireside yee haww a few weeks back. I'd be up for it. My likes are deconstructed punk/new wave (there's only me and a geetar) and of course you can't go wrong with a bit of country y'all. I'd try other stuff too...

There's a rehearsal rooms in Carshalton we could hire??

Wow Snoop sounds pretty good, liking the set list.

I finally got round to getting myself a lovely new Yamaha electronic drum kit (so much easier than an acoustic kit in terms of transporting it and practice, less noise, all I do is plug it into an amp and away we go)

I thought I'd be a bit rusty after not playing for too many years to remember but I'm pretty much there now, bit like riding a bike I guess. I'd be happy to have a couple of sessions Snoop and see what we can come up with. Anyone else want to join in...any bass players or keyboard types?

Although mentioned above, seriously I think that adding music and potentially dancing (to attract the WAGs and HABs) will make the evening more of a rounded social event for everybody. Something like a Ladies Night where we give something back to our partners who have put up with our cycling for the rest of the year.

This year we managed to finish the formalities fairly early and if we got an extension to 1:00am I think that it would be a reasonible amount of time to pull this off.

Good idea Alex, there are amongst us a couple of DJ's, myself included, who could spin a few tunes but I think if a live band could be put together then it would be far more entertaining. I'm more than happy to pitch in with this and give it a go and see if we can get the right people intersted to have a jam session and see what develops.

Sorry for the hijack.
