Notes from our Music Director (added 1 March):
The plan for Sunday the 3rd is to put parts and players together in the same area, i.e. guitar 1's in a cluster far left, guitar 2's in a cluster left of centre etc. In order to do this, we need to be playing in either a semi-circle, two rows, or a staggered row semi-circle.  The other task is to finalise the third piece we wish to perform on June 22nd.

According to my [Kev's] notes, we have decided upon Espanoleta and Here, There and Everywhere.   For those who are not aware, as requested by some, there is now a pdf of Espanoletas in full with mp3's for all parts and the whole piece on the club's page.

The Beatles tune 'And I Love Her' is currently a work in progress nearing completion. Others under investigation are:

Beatles; 'All my Lovin'
Beatles; 'From Me to You'
Boston; 'More than a Feeling'
Divisions on an Italian Ground


Pieces, Players and Parts

Espanoletas

1, Joseph, Mandy, Geoff
2, Alan, Kerry
3, Mark, Steve, Jane
4, Llew, Ian, Mark

Here There and Everywhere

1, Mark, Ian, Kerry, Mandy
2, Llew, Jane, Joseph
3, Alan, Steve, Geoff

As you can see from above, in order to play in clusters, players will have to move to the relevant location. This means leaving music stands and using someone elses. Alternatively we could consider swapping parts (least preferred).
