Club Night - 15th October 2026

Sometimes you can make technology do wonderful things and then there is this week.

For some reason the site did not want me to create the post in the normal way. So, if at first you don't succeed.... cheat! So I am generating the latest blog post by another means.

As an aside I did ask Gemini to animate that image. At first it seemed interesting, but then I noticed the had was missing a finger. Best leaving that clip well alone I think!

So what's the set up for this week? Well, I think we will look at the Beer Festival songs. maybe just looking at the intros, but we'll see. So the first songs are for the Beer Festival.

I am also going to ask for suggestions as to what songs we will need to look at for the Xmas gigs. So here is the list:

Song List

• Mustang Sally

• Sweet Caroline

• Bad Mood Rising

• Octopus’s Garden

• Top of the World

• San Fransisco Bay Blues

• Things

• All My Loving

• Catch a Falling Star

• Dedicated Follower of Fashion

• I’m a Believer

• Ruby Tuesday

• Singing the Blues

• Proud Mary

• Sit down

We need more than this for Thursday, so please think of what you could suggest. It is a bit hectic for me at present, so I am not finding it easy to come up with a list of songs. I do have someone wanting a theme for a future week and they have a list of songs and some words to introduce them, but I would still lead. So if you are worried about leading the group, you do not need to. If you could suggest a list of say 10-12 songs then we could make that a list for a future week.

Of course baring in mind any prep we need to do for these upcoming gigs. Speaking of which....

Upcoming Gigs

Here is the list of gigs that we currently have in our schedule.

Saturday 31st October @3pm

Gargrave Beer Festival. This was great fun last year and I am sure it will be again this time. We were also given some beer tokens to sample the offerings as well!

Wednesday 9th December Threshfield WI

We had some more detailslast week, but I can't remember what was said. I do believe there may have been mention of Jerusalem, but unsure on the jam. Also, it is an evening performance.

Sunday 13th December - Holy Trinity Church

This will be a daytime gig. More details to come.

The Xmas song list is out now. Hopefully people have picked up a copy. I know that some people may only want to play xmas songs only in December but that is just not what needs to happen. We want to entertain as much as possible. The best way to avoid practice time at the club, is to practice at home so that we only need to play a song once or twice and we are ready. We will need to practice them in November. Possibly even October if there is a particular song we want to include, but do not have gig ready.

We are also asking that you think about what could be in the "Gig Book" for next year. What was missing from this year? Is there a new song that we really should work on and add to it? As stated in the club last week, try to create a list and then email it in. That way we can have a more anonymous selection.

Please select songs for the new years gig list from the current library. They can be quite recent, but we need to know that the club has tried them at least once before.

I look forward to seeing you all this Thursday.
