Well that was a fair old jam we got going last Sunday (5th Sept). This things really taken off... at last. I'm going to start using a notepad to keep track of who wants to go up. Either that or print out forms like:

Vocals. _______
Drums. _______
Guitar1 _______
Guitar2 _______
Bass.... _______
Keys.... _______

Tunes planning to play (if nothing in particular just state jam in whatever key).

And then wait till each form is filled out with at least 1 guitar, bass, and drums then enter it into the queue for some stage time.

Any other suggestions?

Wow another good one. I particularily enjoyed the guest appearances by Femora, Norman's Fettish, and No Quarter.

Femora have become much, much tighter than when I first saw them back in April. I was really impressed with their musicianship and the quality of theiur material. I hope they find a suitable vocalist real soon.

This was the first time I'd seen Norman's Fettish, and I was absolutely blown away. I hope they come back more often. I'm going to try and force a promoter to add them to a Saturday line up soon... hmm or maybe my next Saturday 5... now there's a thought!

No Quarter were also very impressive. Funny how the people that moan the absence of Led Zep on our jukebox are never around to witness stuf like this!

The rest of the jam also went very well, with perhaps the exception of Bob's live on stage and very public nervous breakdown/psychotic episode reminisant of The Wedding Singer.

Really looking forward to next week!!!

I thought The Money Shot were excellent last night. I've written a little review of them in the feedback forum.

Audience wise that was our busiest ever jam, and our new record busiest ever Sunday since records began. It was a great atmosphere.

Not so good on the jammer front, we only had 6 plus the house band, but it still a good night. I enjoyed Keilan's Who medlay.

Interestingly Rory might not have been there, but the rest of his family was. Wierd huh?

They fitted in just fine. Your old boy looked a bit wobbly on the way out the door, and someone at their table did a fallee over thing. Unfortunately the jam wasn't quite up to recent standards, and we also had a few undesirables milling around.
