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.

Good stuff, looking forward to it,

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.

backtobass · 24-12-2010 8:20pm

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

Sorry for the delayed reply Mavv35, my laptop is a bit broken atm. Anyway, you are more than welcome to join us. It is on the 8th of January in Cork Rehersal Studios in Kilbarry Industrial Estate, off Dublin Hill. The song list is as above. Hope to see you there.

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?

Menolias · 04-01-2011 12:50pm

still in,saturday sounds good.

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?

Wooden Jesus · 04-01-2011 5:16pm

Count me in

For the record I'm 31 and I play bass and guitar.

If you read through the rest of the thread you will be able to figure out when and where people are meeting up. Although I started the thread, circumstances conspired against my being able to participate.

deafethos · 05-01-2011 2:13pm

Cheerz, will av a civ trew da tread >;-)...

Knifey Spoony · 05-01-2011 2:40pm

Right, I have the room booked. 2-6 on Saturday afternoon. So, will anyone else who said that they would be going confirm that they are so I have an idea of the numbers turning up at it.

So far it is me, Wooden Jesus (+ possible 2) and Menolia.

Thanks for that! I was actually going to throw a few instruments into the car and drive down to meet up anyway but I've got stuff to do this Saturday now so I can't even do that much. Best of luck with it anyway! Hope someone brings a camera so we can get some gear pics!

Actually, a camera would be a great idea. Could prove to all the doubters that it actually went ahead! If some one could bring one it would be nice, I actually don't have one myself.

Maybe we could see you the next time Malice.

Yeah, I hope so. Even if I don't end up moving back down to Cork, I have a few friends that I could crash with for a weekend night so I'd just bring down a few guitars, my tube head and my Pod XT and I'd be all set. I'd even have a ready-made excuse for going boozing afterwards

Crazybassplayer · 05-01-2011 6:28pm

Sorry lads but i have a gig on saturday night but i will be there for a practice and to collect my kit so i will call in and say hello anyway. I will try and make it next time. By the way Sticky i'm a lefthanded drummer as well so you're not alone.

>> Van broke down yesterday, need it to bring my D'kit if I was to play with ye. Unfortunetly I'm vanless till nxt wk or so. Only av a rented car till Sat morn'n. By the way, my kit is tiny so if anyone has room in their wheels that would be great! In the meantime I'll see if I can sort something out >;-)...

Wooden Jesus · 06-01-2011 5:58pm

I think theres a drum kit already there. Last time i checked the website im fairly sure they had amps and a drumkit. I suppose all you need is a few cymbals

The last time I was there all we needed for the drums was a set of sticks which you can get from the vending machine if you don't happen to have any on you. The hihat that was supplied was a bit wonky but everything else was fine.

Knifey Spoony · 06-01-2011 8:45pm

Anyone else interested in joining us this Saturday?

Wooden Jesus · 06-01-2011 11:23pm

Whats everyone doing for transport. Im gettin the bus up but if anyone wants to get a taxi from the city im up for that, save a few quid and that walk up the hill looks rough with equipment

Not sure, I might get a lift up there or take the bus. I know that there is a bus that runs from Merchants Quay that runs right up outside the industrial estate where the rehersal space is, so might take that, would be cheaper than the taxi.

It's the number 12.

Wooden Jesus · 07-01-2011 6:17pm

Thanks. The bus is at 12 and 20 past 2 though, think ill get a taxi

Knifey Spoony · 08-01-2011 4:05am

For those of you who are actually going to turn up tomorrow, I shall be the guy with long hair, a bit of a smig and a Gibson hardcase, standing outside the rehersal place waiting for some one to mention the word "Boards" to me. Hope to see you tomorrow.

PS. I got your PM Wooden Jesus
PPS. I'm too tired to type properly, I hope the above makes sence.

Knifey Spoony · 08-01-2011 2:15pm

Pushed back to next Saturday due to unforseen circumstances :mad:

Knifey Spoony · 10-01-2011 5:02pm

Practice room booked again for this Saturday, 2-6. More people still welcome to come along if they want to.

Well, this has already gone ahead, might not be one for another couple of months, but keep an eye out for it in the future.
