Hail and Well Met, Thacksters all ! There have been some unavoidable delays finding out the lengths of the shows at The Hobbit, and at time of writing we still don’t know when either show will be required to stop, and thus the number of 3-song spots we can accommodate. However, it’s getting late in the day now so… This is the official call for Baggsy Lists ! If you want to play up to three songs at the Hobbit JakeFest, you are invited to mail malcolm (dot) jeffrey (at) virgin (dot) net with your "baggsy" list of the songs that you can do, in your preferred order of song. If you want to play a set of up to three Jake numbers at the Fest, we need you to : a) Tell me all of the songs that you can do (including those on the list below), in the order that you would prefer them to appear in your set. To help distribute the really popular ones fairly, you will only get one from this list - The Bull On Again ! On Again ! (the now traditional finales of each show) and Leopold Alcox / Alcocks Sister Josephine The Ballad Of Billy Kershaw The Bantam Cock The Blacksmith And The Toffee-Maker The Brigadier The Hole The Lodger Go Little Swale The Jolly Captain (the 10 most popular songs at the last JakeFest) We will try to get you as many songs close to the top of your list as we can. b) Tell me if you want a full set of three songs or if you would prefer a shorter set, and if you would rather play in the matinee, the evening show, or have no preference. c) This year you have until August 23rd - one week Sunday - to mail me and then the entries will be closed : there will be no "first past the post" (or "first in Malcy's In Box") order of preference. Instead, we'll be allocating songs more randomly with a series of draws, and also using a ballot to help determine which player performs at the matinee or in the evening performance if numbers make this unavoidable. Anyone being asked to play in the earlier show when it’s not their preferred one, will be given preference for the main show of the next Fest, and all attempts will be made to guarantee their choice of set there as compensation. A fairly lengthy explanation of the reasoning behind this can be found here : http://www.jakethackray.com/content/view/292/84/ Cheers ! Malcy |
