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.
