carlosfandango Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) Hello Folks, A mate of mine pulled together this list of jam sessions in the South East incl London. Most of them are jazz sessions but some of them also do blues, rock, pop etc. As you can see there are sessions basically every day of the week. So – get up, get on the scene, get on uppa…… See you there! PS. Just got back from a really good session at Havan BA ar in Windsor...Played for 1 1/2 hour....stuff by James Brown, Jaco, Stevie Wonder, Johnson Bros, Mingue, Miles.....wicked!

He has some class musicians there ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjamm Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 What's the one at the FiftyFive in Camden like...is it jazz? The Spice of Life in Covent Garden has a pretty wicked Jazz jam every other Sunday i do believe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 The Grey Horse is hosted on alternate weeks by Robin Bibi, who remains one of the best/nicest blues musicians in London. The weeks that Robin doesn't do still have the blues jam, but it's hosted by a much younger house band fronted by a guy called Lawrence - very impressive but ultra-flash. Robin's been doing this stuff for ages and runs more than one weekly jam, so organisation is slick. If you want to play, get there in good time. If you want a seat, get there early. You've been warned. The FiftyFive is in the small room upstairs. Ground floor is a trendy 20-somethings bar with some [Warning - sexist comment approaching] seriously attractive women hanging around; I'm not sure what puts them off, that I have so little hair, or that what's left is so grey. Upstairs is friendly & intimate with 20 or so people in, and bloody crowded if you approach 30. I stopped going a few months back because Paul Fjelrad's (dis)organisation was beginning to get to me. Tiny stage. Music is mainly blues but strays easily into both funk and classic rock. Sometimes has a truly superb keyboards player. I don't do jazz, though I'm in awe of the musicianship. If you want the best jazz jamming display in London check out the Global Talent Jam at the George IV pub in Chiswick High Road on the last Monday in each month. Rarely anything less than brilliant, sometimes astonishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjamm Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thanks for that kind sir!!! I need to move to London...Grantham just doesn't do it for me, lol!!! I might check out the FiftyFive bar, if not for the music, for the lovely ladies you speak of, hehe...and because i have a friend who lives 5 mins away from there, so a place to lay my head is readily available The George IV sounds interesting though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigonbass Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thursday nights at The Cricketers in Westfield near Woking, starts at 8.30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickThomas Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 There's two in Eastbourne that I know of : Beach Pub - Every Thursday ... well run, and sometimes brilliant. Occasional low attendance brings it down a peg or two sometimes. Bay Hotel, Pevensey Bay - Every other Friday .... run by same people that run the above , and it only started last week so it's an unknown quantity at the moment. Roomy venue though and could take off :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
