faceman Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 In just a few months time, it's going to be my twenty first birthday (shock, growing old!) and my family is putting together a party up home and there should hopefully be a fair number of people turning up. Therefore, the main thing I wanted to do was to put a band together. I've got my usual keyboardist, an awesome mate on sax and singing (not the same person!) as well as a guitartist and drummer friend. I was planning on doing two sets, the first of background instrumental music when people arrive, and the second of the main set. i've tried get a balance between things I like and things others will like. It's my party but what I like won't please everyone in the second set, so thoughts? The instrumental set we will probably blag with charts or something. Probably won't play them all either, it's all just considerations [b]Set One - Instrumentals[/b] 'Round Midnight - Monk Blue Rondo a la Turk - Brubeck Chameleon - Herbie Hancock Get Carter Theme - Roy Budd Green Onions - Booker T How High The Moon - Oscar Peterson I Can't Turn You Loose/Time is Tight - Otis Redding Jean Pierre - Miles Davis So What - Miles Davis Take Five - Brubeck Take The A Team Tequila - The Champs Unsquare Dance - Brubeck Watermelon Man - Hancock [b]Set Two - Main Set[/b] As The Days Go By - Daryl Braithwaite Money - Pink Floyd Do It Again - Steely Dan Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan Ulysses - Franz Ferdinand Take Me To The River - Talking Heads The Wanderer - Dion The Logical Song - Supertramp Viva La Vida - Coldplay Enola Gay - OMD Smooth Operator - Sade Who Are You - The Who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I'd suggest you don't play your own 21st birthday party. All you aunties and relatives and friends will be wantng to talk to you not listen to a band and watch you. So .. dep in a mate and do a feature spot at some point but don't play the whole night yourself. I know 'cos I did it once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
