So - what could be the format - backing tracks - or getting risky - a live band!!

What does "Risky" want a live band for? He does a grand job on a Tuesday with his B.T.'s, Laptop et al.

I think if you want to broaden the range of material beyond Shads then you will need a live band because the BTs will not exist. Are you thinking vocal or instro or both?

At recent Warwick meets we have done the odd Cliff, Buddy, Elvis, Beatles and even a bit of jazz. It adds to the fun without stopping the Shads material from getting an airing. I think it also has the potential to draw more people in.

Amanda will be doing some singing and cabaret in her ballgown.

Has this idea got any further or has it died ?

Or you could come to Filongley (pardon the spelling) on June 27th, see the club site for details. It would be good to see you again Jimbo.
Take care
