The Official FB Jam - Quad (Leicester) Edition - Saturday 24th November 2018

What's Hot
BridgehouseBridgehouse Frets: 24578
edited August 2018 in Events
Official FB Jam - Quad (Leicester)

Where? Quad Studios, Leicester
When? Saturday 24th November 2018
Times? 11 - 6
Cost? £27

Please make a PayPal payment to thefretboard@outlook.com and PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU PUT IN THE NOTES YOUR PAYMENT IS FOR LEICESTER

Our return to Quad in Leicester!

Similar to the last one, I'd like to book 4 rooms this time (Main, Jam 1, Jam 2/Acoustic, Gear&Chat) 

It won't be officially recorded, but will be filmed etc. 

This session is particularly aimed at newcomers to Jams, beginners and those that haven't played live before - there will be experienced guys on hand to help you through it and it's less stressful as there's no official recording happening (though most find the recording helpful to chart progress etc.)

Totally stress and pressure free environment - I've done 5 of these now and the atmosphere is nothing but amazing - a really supportive day getting you up and running, having fun, playing and chatting about gear. A chance to try some cool amps, some great guitars and listen to some distinctly average bass playing

My plan is to have a pro drummer for the day which I'm working on. 

Official Jam Session slots restricted to 20 so get in quick! 

We can accommodate about 35 in total - but after the first 20 go then you won't get a chance to play at the official session, but there will be two other rooms for informal jams and lots of space for looking at gear and trying stuff out. If any of our marvellous makers or businesses want to come along and show their wares then you are more than welcome to!

Go!

  • I'm in, unless it's the weekend of 16th November,  when I have 2 YBTB bookings. 

    Considering I'm not sure how my hand will be by then I'll probably concentrate on learning some bass and vocal stuff but leave the guitar stuff to others.

    I’ve got to go to all the jams now to justify buying the Marshall Silver Jubilee combo I’m about to get! That’s what I’m telling the wife anyway!

    I'm pretty sure I can be the first part time bassist to make you feel good about your playing ;)

    Unlikely - as a "proper" bassist I despair sometimes... :)

    One day, someone is going to say "well played on that bass there..."





    And I'll have to point out it wasn't me :)
