When enquring about a performance diploma, I was asked by Rockschool to write a list of songs I had played live. Needless to say it took me ages. I recommend keeping a running list of songs you play in case you ever have to provide evidence; it's quicker than rummaging through a million different parts and pads and trying to remember what you've played in the past.

Anyway, here's the list (to be continually updated):
