Tonight we're playing a gig for Aimee's dad's 60th birthday, and it is going to be a lot of fun.

<center> **The Set List** </center>

We're going to kick off the music around 9 o'clock, and do some of the Dangerous Dave songs, which should last about 30+ minutes, and then we're going to do some cover songs. 

Aimee's dad will be stepping in for the covers and will be doing about six or so songs with us.

*Those songs are -*
<center> I Wanna Be Adored - Stone Roses </center>
<center> Fortunate Son - Creedence </center>
<center> Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd </center>
<center> Zombie - The Cranberries </center>
<center> Jobseeker - Sleaford Mods </center> 

*We may also do one or two Dangerous Dave songs with him too...*

Once we've finished up the covers, her dad is going to play drums to some tracks from his own setlist, and it'll give people a chance to get up and do a bit of karaoke, and potentially play along to some of the songs too.

After that, we'll come back for another 30+ minutes of the Dangerous Dave songs, and then when we finish that up, we'll open the stage to guests to get up and do a bit of karaoke, which should be a bit of craic, and by that stage, everyone should have a bit of Dutch courage.

We're getting ready now to bring equipment over to the venue to get it prepared for the night. 

I love the whole build-up to nights like this. Some people aren't really a fan of load-in, but I actually enjoy that part as much as actually playing. The thing I hate, though, is the teardown, but luckily, we're good to leave everything in the venue to pick it up tomorrow.

In fairness, though, that sounds like a great idea. But, having to lump everything around while being hungover isn't too fun, but that's future me's problem.
