We are having an an open mic session most of the night from 7.45pm (ish)
(Slight change to format as suggested last week)
In the break we are having complementary pizzas ( yum yum ! ).
Please send in your name asap, but not at last minute !!
You don't have to name your song. If its one from our repertoire then just send the title.
If its a new arrangement and you want people to play along then send that in ( PDF format if possible.)
If is a medley, shorten it so that it's a reasonable length !
This is our 12th Year, and we can't let the night go without a tribute to Kenn Dalley and Richard Turner, 2 Strummers who were a great infuence and who made a tremendous contribution to our group.
So, to start the night we will play I'll Be Your Baby Tonight for Kenn and we'll finish with Galway Girl for Richard.
