Practice at Charlie’s Dereham

Rough and slow journey over via Garboldisham and Watton. Finally got set up and playing about 7pm – noted:

  • Somewhere Under the Sun – Adrian to check all have latest version with 6 bar intro and occasional hi phrases
  • Dave to listen to Searchers Needles and Pins Chris Curtis break in bridge otherwise whole medley ready to go
  • Shang-a-lang – Double intro riffs and slow down final riff for ending
  • Bye Bye Baby – up one tone to B Adrian to learn guitar then just look at link and ready to go
  • Hollies Medley Running Order Bus Stop – I’m Alive – Here I Go Again each to rehearse own parts for target launch after next practice.
  • Spencer Davis Sequence: Somebody Help Me – Keep On Running ready to go.

Still getting a harsh guitar sound from the Bose, but will look into that when Korg pedal returns. There was another group practicing a couple of doors down, and their singer said he thought our harmonies were very good. Got packed up and Dave put the key back through the letterbox as instructed. It was at this point Nigel couldn’t find his keys. After a bit of poking at the lock to get back in we went for a plan B where I ran Nigel back to Necton (about 10 miles) to pick up his spare key. So eventually got away about 11:30pm and home for 12:30pm.
