I decided to do a rough run through of my provisional set list yesterday and we certainly learned a lot from the process, so I'll try to capture some insights here.
Timing
The timings showed that it's just about possible to do the core songs if an allotted time of 35 minutes occurs. That's without much banter at all. So the standby songs are unlikely to make it in realistically.
Tuning
The schedule requires moving a capo on the 12string mid set, which can mean not being perfectly in tune for the same old rock, so I don't enjoy playing it so much. A rethink might help.
Songs
On that performance, Highway Blues and Truro Agericultural Show can be ditched. Ha, no need to carry the chinese lute for one song.
San Francisco could be added in
Need Work:
Time for the music, Onions, Gernika.
