Surrey and West Sussex jam sessions

Mark_R

I'm in Epsom and well up for this.  Can do most evenings except for a Tuesday or Thursday.

I also have a drum kit, I'm a slightly better drummer than guitarist so can play a little bit if need be but would prefer to play guitar.

Skodadad

I'll bring my 3 year old, he's like Animal from the Muppets and plays a mean biscuit tin / dog / baby sisters head!

cruxiform

This all looking positive. I think I'll have a look around at somewhere we can meet. Bear with me, I'm also selling a house and looking for somewhere to live at the moment!

HAL9000

I'm in. West Suusex here, but due to the erratic nature of my work can't really guarantee when I can get there.

Fez

I'm another West Sussex resident so defo interested.

Fez

Might be able to rustle up a bass player if we need one.

JonHarper

Hey, i'm West Sussex too. I know a few decent venues that are either free or very low cost with good acoustics that'd be accessible both from b'ton & north surrey. also don't mind bringing my bass along to run with

What is your kit?

Mine is a Gretsch Renown 24/16/13 with various Ludwig snares- will probably bring a 14x5" Supra, DW9k hardware.

Is anyone thinking of singing, and if so, how would we amplify that?

Skodadad

I have a mixer and mic so can run it through the aux on my or someone else's amp

hubobulous

Sweet. I don't sing but it was just one of those questions!!

I'm happy to bring along any of my kit if people want to try things out, so perhaps once we've got a venue and date arranged I'll list up what there is to consider.

Cool. I'll PM you in the near future. It's sounding like this will be good. As said earlier guys, bear with me, at the moment I'm battling with solicitors over the finer details of selling my house. Once sorted, it's all systems go.

PC_Dave

I'm down with this!!! Based in Surrey and happy to drive!

I can also be an Drummist but don't have a kit.... I do have a personality though, so it's not ALL bad

Winny_Pooh

If Octatonic is going I'm game. If we find a room with bass backline I could competently take care of bass duties at least half of the time.

I can potentially bring a couple of PA speakers if we want them to amplify vocals.

Ive got a very old and well abused 7 piece Perl Export Stage Kit with a mix mash of hardware.  Far too loud for most small pubs!

There is Hook Recording Studio, its part of Hook Library in Chessington http://www.hookstudio.co.uk/book-session/

£18 per hour and looks like its available Monday evenings.  It does have a house PA and drum kit and would house 8 people tops.

Flanging_Fred

I'd be up for another get together. I'll bring my kazoo and a stylophone.

Sporky

I have a Stagesource if anyone wants their singing made louderer. Otherwise I'll bung guitar through it.
