Hi all

The next session will be a Simon and Garfunkel special.  Here are some tunes and links to get you in the mood…..

We already do Mrs Robinson (first chord E major), and Cecilia in G. We will be adding The Boxer (chord sheet), The Sound of Silence (chord sheet), and 50 ways to leave your lover (chord sheet). They vary in difficulty but I think it should be fun!

Aside from that we will do The Weight (in G) again plus, Hey Good Looking, Brown Eyed Girl, C’est La Vie, Da Do Ron Ron, People are Strange, When I’m dead and gone, Lola, Jolene, Valerie…..

Looking forward to it!

Chris

 

 

Next session and gig news…

Hi everybody

We have a gig booked! It is on the 27th March at the George Evelyn Open Mic Night in Long Ditton; I think we will be on at around 8 30.

I’ve got next weeks set for the group session (on the 20th) sorted out and the seven song set for the gig will come from it, so if anyone wants to do a bit of practise then they can. But the gig really is nothing to worry about for any of you who haven’t played before – not only is there safety in numbers but also the crowd who come to these nights are very friendly. And the word ‘crowd’ is an exaggeration.

Don’t worry if you can’t/aren’t sure about/definitely don’t want to do the gig – everyone is welcome to the session at the library as normal.

Anyway, next weeks set list –

And then I Kissed Her, Bad Moon Rising, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Come on up to the House, Everyday, Folsom Prison Blues/Pinball Wizard, Goody Two Shoes, Happy Together, Hound Dog, Living Doll, Rocking all over the World, Sloop John B, Stuck in the Middle with you, Sunny Afternoon, These Boots are made for Walking.

Thanks to Kate and Martin for their input on this list!

….is on the 23rd.

No particular theme, just a couple of new ones and then some classics including SOS, Delilah, Stuck in the Middle, Mr Blue Sky (uh oh!), Love me do….

Come down and join in! Even if you are a bit shy and only know a couple of chords – it’s the perfect to play music with other people with no pressure.
