charliethornton Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hey all! Just wondering what jam nights you could all recommend... where ever really, doesn't need to be around London... I want to meet people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I know there is a guitar store in St Albans. I was there the other day. Why not ask them to put a notice up in the store advertising for any like-minded folk to call you. You can then talk to a local pub and start one. You could also try talking to the library. They would let you put a notice up there too. I think it's the "Fighting Cocks" near the Abbey that has Morris Dancing sometimes? Try there, you never lknow.... Other wise there is one in Bishops Stortford, but it's a bit of a trek from St Albans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliethornton Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hmm, there's a couple around St. Albans and they're pretty shocking! I'm looking to venture out a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomE Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Great funk night down in Bournemouth on Wednesdays evenings. Its actually funky jazz and there are some great players in the house band. Jason Rebello features regularly. Look at FNUK, Bournemouth, Wednesday nights.

jamesbass116 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Sewage Jam every Other thursday night at the Priory Tavern in Kilburn, London. It's run by the third years at my uni. Incredible musicians! They play a lot of funk/jazz/soul tunes. They have a Spotify playlist if you wanna check out the stuff you can usually jam over.

[/quote] Basically, a bunch of musicians get together and play a few tunes. Quite often Blues as everyone knows the 12 bar format. I've played a few in my time and they can be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 It's nowhere near you, but incase anyone more local is reading, The Crow's Nest in East Grinstead has a good one every Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I attend quite a few jams in the east London / Essex area, depends what your looking for ? Blues / Rock / Mor ! Might be a bit far to travel tho. Also there is a Facebook group called Jammers, biased towards the east London & Essex area, but other areas sometimes post as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
