Here you will find information about the songs we play, intend to play and have written.

Songs We've Performed

Note that 'improvisation' refers to numbers that started as jamming in rehersal, but are now fairly standarised. A 'standard' is a well known song or tune which as far as we know is unattributable.

  • If You Have To Ask - The Red Hot Chili Peppers
  • A Jazz style improvisation based on the "So What" 'standard'.
  • Wannabe - The Spice Girls, rearranged for our nefarious purposes and because we only have one 'singer'.
  • A Blues style improvisation based on the "Footsteps" 'standard', using words from "Take My To The River" by The Talking Heads.
  • A Funk style improvisation we call "A Jam", referring to the key of the original riff.
  • Quis Est Pater - a Blues style improvisation based on the "All Blues" 'standard', with lyrics written by fennel and Sam. Lyrics are available on fennel's own website here.
  • You Really Got Me - The Kinks
  • I Want To Hold Your Hand - The Beatles

  • I Cry Now - music by Sam, lyrics by fennel.
