Hi there

Im playing at a gig for a school reunion coming up in oct.
the crowd will all be about 40yrs old.

We want to do a heap of songs they will love from "back in the day" or
current stuff they will like.
anyone got any suggestions?

I want to try keep it all upbeat and the really catchy stuff so they will all
sing along when they are hammered.

we need probably another 5 - 7 tunes as we are ditching a heap of the
current tunes we play to put in stuff they will like more

thanks for the help
