Songbook

Bring a song

Got a song you'd love the club to play that isn't in our songbook? Set it up on the club's slide template and we'll add it to the club night slideshow.

  1. Check the songbook first

    If it's already in our songbook, we'll use that version, so there's nothing more to do.

  2. Download the template that fits

    Pick the template with the same number of pages as your song: a 1 page song goes on the 1 page template, a 2 page song on the 2 page template, and so on.

  3. Fill it in the club way

    • The song title and artist (or composer) go in the header.
    • Lyrics go in the main area, with each chord in square brackets, coloured blue, right where the chord changes, like [F].
    • Copy the chord chart for every chord you use from the last slide into the left-hand column.
    • Use the template with the same number of pages as the song. On 2 and 3 page songs, keep the page counter (1/2, 2/2) and the arrow.
    • Keep the template's fonts, sizes and logo as they are, and put one song per file.
  4. Send it to us

    Email your file to [email protected] at least 3 days before club night, so we can add it to the slideshow. Performing? Send all your songs together. Next send-by date: Monday, 2 November, for club night on Thursday, 5 November.
