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

Bridgehouse · August 2018

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!

Wooooo! Subject to securing a pass out, I'd be up for this. Bit less of a drive too ...

That’s the only weekend my wife is away, so I might need to bring my 13 year old son. As long as that’s Ok, I’m in!

not_the_dj · August 2018

If you’ll have me i’d like to attend again.

Yep - I had you down for an organiser slot as you are local. 13 yr old offspring can come for free

(does he play anything?)

Perfect - I'll put him on the Others list and he can do a song with you anyway!

Legionreturns · August 2018

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.

mrkb · August 2018

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 going to go for the 24th. I'll pop you in. We need vocalists anyway

Would be good to see you on Bass

Snags · August 2018

Confirmed, based on current datea

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
