Revised List

After much discussion (mostly snarky bullying) we have the following potential set list:

Bay City Brother (Octafish)
Biscuits (Mile High Henry?)
Ghost Daddy (GWF)
Dani Behr (SW)
Flapjack (Gibs)
Shell Suit Family Robinson (ANLB)
Majestic Vacuum Cleaner (Gibs)
Magic Chair (GWF)
The Mad Mind (ANLB?)
The Song About Nothing (GWF)
Skinny Peters (Gibs)
Jimmy the Doughnut (GWF)
The Hammer (Laffmad et al)

Reserves

Sunday Drivers (Gibs)
Grandma We Love You (Gibs)
Field in Cornwall (Gibs)
Daffodil (Gibs)
Baby Cheeses (ANLB)
Spacehopper (Octafish)
Tom Cat (Mile High Henry/Octafish)
Not All There (GWF)
At Tea (GWF)
Too Good Looking to Live (GWF)
Like Me 'Cos I'm Stupid (GWF)

To explain how I've chosen. The songs in the main set list aren't neccessarily the "best" songs - they're the ones that would probably work best live. I've also been careful not to put in too many "straightforward" tunes, lest we end up sounding like The Toy Dolls or Fuzzbox...

pretty good - although not sure about flapjack - the set list does feel a little like ANLB with extras - I wouldn't mind something more from the Kipling stable. Have Jon and Tom given their 2 penneth?

Yep - that's what we ended up with after a chat on Sunday. Jon wasn't very serious to be honest though - suggesting the ultra-offensive, never recorded "Hitler Left the Gas On"...

Jason suggested Flapjack - which has the virtue of having a structure!

Fog said...

Yeah - sounds like Kips allright. Thinking about it Flapjack would be OK done in the style of Flapjack Mark II - I had Mk I in my head - then of course there is Mk III which is performed like Ministry on speed.

BTW - Have I mixed up Jon Williams and John Kipling here?

You have mixed up Kipling and Williams, yes.
