Does the audience know what Blues is - it's not typical for a school evening...

A few more details would help ..................on the assumption that it is just solo guitar ..(you!!)

are you acoustic or plugged in ?

How long do they want you to play for ? total amount of time you have for your set .. or number of tunes total

Will it be just guitar or do you ( or someone else) plan to sing a bit ? .so is it a song list or a tune list.

Will you be able to introduce the material .. ie what you are playing and why you chose it ?

How long do you have before the event ? i.e do you want to go with stuff you already play ? or do you have time to add (Learn) anything else if we suggest it ?


If you can you need to introduce your set
1) Have a nice catchy number to start with.
2) The set (however many songs or tunes that is) 
3) a Finale !! something punchy or memorable to end on that ensures you get the nice buzz and good applause

Incidentally -  What you have aleady sounds really nice stuff to listen to and if you can already play "Son and Sylvia " - good on you .. its nice !
Put it in the set !

Motherless Child?  That's one of my favorites to play/sing (if you can call what I do singing...), but if nobody's singing, then I don't think it's quite as interesting.

Driftin is always good,...outside of that,....an acoustic rendition of Little Wing or instrumental of 'Circus' or 'You were there'

+1 and of course Rollin' and Tumblin'

+2 on those, and after just listening to the great rendition of "Working Class Hero" that was posted by Bluez2move, how about a song like that - one by Lennon or a folk song by Dylan, Neil Young?  Both Dylan and Young had Blues roots before going more folkie and then more into rock and then... wherever each went - so you can Blues-up some of their songs and it will probably work.
