tFB south eastern jam session at Powerhouse Studios, Weybridge on Sat 25th May 2024 12-5pm.

Neilybob

I've really enjoyed being part of the Bristol jams. Would be great to get another jam session going in the Woking/HW/Reading area. 

If you are interested let me know?! 

2 rooms (large and small) have been booked at Powerhouse Studios, Weybridge from 12noon-5pm. Full drum kit, PA and microphones included.

Lets make some noise!!!

TeleKinesis

Yes, absolutely! Sorry to have missed the last HW one - double booked at the last minute.

I've not been to a jam night before that wasn't with people I know. Is there a usual format for it? E.g. some covers known in advance, 12 bar blues or just ad-hoc?

And are amps usually provided by rehearsal space or do people bring their own?

Sorry for all the questions

Sorry for all the questions  

I can only advise how we run the Bristol one where we ask everyone to nominate songs they get collated into a spreadsheet with roles (vocals, drummer, bass, lead guitar, rhythm) and then people put their names down for roles. Any song that isn't completed gets dropped and if any song is popular we can have multiple run through with different people. 

Some people prefer to bring their own amps and allow others to use them but rehearse venues often make amps available also.

Had the last one at WaterRats music studio in Woking. Was a great event. I’d be up for another one there.

Jonathangus

At Water Rats it's been a slightly different thing in that we've had the rooms downstairs for general mucking about with gear, etc., plus the recording studio upstairs.  So it costs a bit more than the DIY approach at Bristol, but it's a cool setup.

Anyway, colour me interested.

That all sounds great  

Thank you

I am game. I can't remember why I failed to go to the high wycombe one so sorry about that.

sev112

Yes please

TheMarlin

Yay, looking good!!

soma1975

This feels like enough people already

Neilybob

So the next question is when? 

Obviously we need sometime to suggest songs and then to learn them. I'm thinking probably April or May time? 

What do we all think?

sev112

April May good choice, after Easter but not into Summer hols formpeople

Neilybob

And then do people prefer a Saturday or Sunday for this shindig? 

sev112

Sat pref but could do Sun

TeleKinesis

Sounds good! I could only do weekend of 27th/28th for April, any time in May looks fine.

No preference on Sat / Sun.

Cheers!
