Got away a bit late but made good time over for an 11am arrival. The first thing on the agenda was to test the Bose T1 into Mick's PA rig. Nige uncovered a pre-master volume software switch in my T1 and we ran a stereo Jack to XLR to Micks rig to give a balanced signal to minimize hum. This worked very well; so experiment over we started practice. Things went generally smoother than the previous week. We switched and sorted some vocal parts, added a bit of comedy with some Hallelujahs in Sir Cliff's “Do You Wanna Dance” and finalised running order for the show case as follows:
1. SKY HIGH straight into
2. DON'T WORRY BABY
Band Intro
3. HEARTBEAT
Drum Intro & voice over + Hallelujahs
4. DO YOU WANNA DANCE
5. HOW SWEET IT IS
Bass start, then Drums then Guitar
6. HOW LONG (has this been going on)
7. HOW LONG (Eagles)
8. BEATLES MEDLEY
- Eight Days a Week
- Can't Buy Me Love
- All My Lovin
- Nowhere Man
- I Feel Fine
- She Loves You
9. SEARCHERS MEDLEY
- Sugar and Spice
- Needles and Pins
- Walk in the Room
- Don't Throw Your Love Away
Guitar Intro
10. MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY
11. SWEET CAROLINE
Final Number Vocal Starts it
12. YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE
Encore only if needed
13. JOHNNY B GOODE
We kept at it until voices were starting to croak by 4:45pm and with a quick pack up hoped to be away ahead of the traffic. Alas traffic was bad and I had to divert onto the Fakenham Road to make progress, but eventually got home about 6:30pm.
