I don't know if it's all of them cos' if I find a tab that's good enough I use it and  leave it at that, but when I find one that's utter bollox I move on and find that the tab maniac has posted the utter bollox one everywhere. bastard.

Though as someone said it's a free resource so maybe I shouldn't have that much of a downer on them.

Thanks all. I think the 1st line/highlighted prompts thing is the way to go rather than all the lyrics written down. I can see this working.

I'm assuming that you've got a start on singing while playing

Yes, pretty much.

Otherwise that temporary crutch will quickly become permanent.

Agreed, this is what I'm trying to avoid.

How many songs have you got to learn and when do you aim to perform them

12-15 depending on how many the guitarist can sing.

Is this an indication that there may be a hiatus in the compilation of material for the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Kebabery?

Au contraire this will run along side the main kebab hunting band.

Got a shed load of songs to learn for a new venture where I'm doing about 60% of the singing.

Judicious key changes aplenty and I'm getting there but.....

I'm really struggling to get lyrics to stick in my  head and I'm contemplating buying a "clip to your mic stand"

music stand thingy but I can feel your hatred rising as I type.

Any tips ?

@Les I like this way of getting your attention in a thread without quoting you.

What ? Wait, why have you been given superpowers and I haven't ?

A post it thingy appears at the top of the page.

Yep. All good. 

Cato, sent you a sticky note, not sure what it is, assuming it's kinda like a pm

works a treat,

well done admods, well done indeed.

Here's a cut and paste of the set for me new 3 piece

Just wanted to see what it all looks like when I post.

[b]Is it this the norm in bands where most members can’t be bothered and just leave it to the person who is bothered?[/b]

Yes.

If there's enough space to not be tripping over each other and in each others way it's a lot quicker.

On topic but as an aside we're all active, tops and subs but recently we've stopped taking the subs in to smaller venues, we still put everything through the PA and I have to say not had a problem with the kick or the bass guitar going through them and the sound is still good.

I wouldn't be without the bins for some of the gigs we do but the tops alone cope very well on the smaller gigs.

Good luck with that.

Watching this with interest as I'm putting a 3 piece side band together and I don't want to dress up like we do in the Troubadours but I don't really want to look like a punter who's got up and slung a bass round his neck.

I like everything about that. Strong song, well done pal.
