Apparently the first meeting of October went really well. I wouldn’t know as I wasn’t there, I did have a good excuse as I’d just got married and went on my Honeymoon instead.

To celebrate I’ve finally got round to adding the new songs to the songbook that I’ve been going on about for ages. I think we’re pretty competent at most of the older ones so it’ll be good to try something new. All of the new songs have got a focus to them. We’re quite aware that our repertoire is quite dated. To that end we’ve been trying to make sure that we only add songs that are a little more current. I think it’s fair to say that when you look at our new line up you’d have to say I have singularly failed to achieve anything even remotely like recent. In fact only one song wasn’t released in the ’70s.

Having said that they are all good songs. Though I’m somewhat wary about Total Eclipse of the Heart as it looks quite hard.

You can download the songbook from here; I seem to be having a few problems with Spotify  but will add songs to the playlist once it decides to get working again.

The only contemporary song is the Black Kids – I’m Not Going to Teach Your….. If you don’t know it then watch the Youtube video below. It’s a good song seemingly made for the Ukulele and allows us to shout numbers. Let’s give it a go.

Other than that it is your standard fair of middle of the road rock classics (ish).

So we will be upstairs at Pat  Kav’s (The corner of Woodbridge Road and Trafalgar Road Moseley) from 8:00pm this Thursday (upstairs).

See you there.

Total Eclipse of the Heart – Bonnie Tyler
