Hi everyone,

I feel like it's about time that we get a new garage days going. It's been close to a year at this stage.

We are looking at two options, either a standard jam session with electrics, or an acoustic sesh.

Let's vote on acoustic Vs electric and thereafter get a setlist together. Voting closes next Sunday.

Voting will also serve as an indication as to who's interested.

I'm hoping to get this going in November. Also, this will be PTA/JHB side.

Acoustic or Electric

    Howdy. Is there a dedicated Forum voting platform for this? Or does the Discord channel work as well?

      domhatch I'm keeping an eye on the discord as well, but it seems like most(discord peeps) are keen for acoustic anyway.

      So discord is fine, I'm just unsure as to how create a discord poll on my mobile. I don't have access to my pc at the moment.

        Howsit people,

        Based on the poll and the discord chat we're definitely lined up for an Acoustic session.

        Interaction shows a headcount of about 7ish people and we already have a few song suggestions.

        @domhatch

        • Layla (oasis I presume)

        @klaasvakie

        • Harley Darling (The pretty reckless)

        @guidothepimmp

        • Any Alice in Chains unplugged number.
        • Some REM
        • Mr Jones/Omaha (Counting Crows)
        • Like a Rolling Stone/Knocking on Heavens Door (Bob Dylan)

        From my side I'd like to suggest the following:

        • Black (Pearl Jam)
        • Slow Show (The National)
        • Any blues Jam

        @Bluetone @Yeti Any additional suggestions?

        for the list / Tabs & Chords

        • RCVN replied to this.

          Looking good so far, I'll give it some thought and let you know.

          i'll find the best tab i can for layla - EC's acoustic version from MTV unplugged - and post the link. probably also UG

          if i happen across any other good tabs for the suggested songs that i'm really familiar with on UG, i'll send those on as well

          Obviously the title isn't much of a fit anymore. Apologies for my absence in getting this going, life has thrown me a few curveballs that had me teetering on the edge.

          Sunday 26 February is my new suggestion. I'll get some feedback from the discord group as well.

          Are anyone still keen?

          ack! the missus' bday is on the 23rd, so i'm sure we'll be celebrating that weekend – saturday and sunday if i know anything about my wife.

          let me know and i'll vice versa if plans change this side.

            Feedback points towards the 19th as the most suitable thusfar.

            @Yeti Are you available then?

            Venue wise we've had Klitsgras as a suggestion. I'm also looking at a few halls near Rosebank. Any other suggestions are welcome.

            I think id also be nice to have some braai facilities etc.

            So 26th would probably be better for me than the 19th but I might be able to make the 19th work... I'll need to come back to you.

            Hey guys, just checking in. Is this going ahead? Do we have details?

            • RCVN replied to this.

              Yeti Howsit.

              Still set for the 19th. I'm struggling to get a decent quote for a venue that can offer braai facilities etc.
              The quotes are around 1.4k.

              If you have any venue in mind that can assist, then I'll be forever grateful..

                  Cool, do you have an idea of time? I need to finalise a couple of things for that weekend.
                  Also, do you have a set list? (although I'll probably just be singing this time)

                  I'm afraid that I don't have any tame venues I can recommend. That has always been one of the big issues.

                    Yeti The Proposed setlist is in the discussion above.

                    Time wise I was think late morning, maybe 10/11ish? If you have a preference, then we can work around that.

                      RCVN I've updated the list with the most popular Ultimate guitar chord sheets. If anyone wants a different version, please shout.

                        I sneaked in another tune xD

                        Venue sorted for 10am 19 Feb.

                        Please pm me for further details or if you'd like to join.

                          Howsit people,

                          The numbers started to dwindle so we decided to move the date to the 5th of March.

                          Let me know if you want to join.
