Quite possibly

for the purposes of gathering expressions of interest, we are assuming the same location (Bristol) and venue (Factory Studios).

Based on the assumption of Factory Studios, Bristol, will similar attendance numbers will be necessary to reach break even?

nickp · February 2020

I'm in if i can make it

I'm also up for having a midweek regular (monthly maybe?) Jam in bristol if we can get a few people interested - details for discussion (and beer I hope)

Jalapeno · February 2020

Announced/Stickied..

octatonic · February 2020

Potentially in, depends on date.

Jason · February 2020

Potentially yes, depends on date, I was all set for last year and then the date changed, I work quite a lot of Saturdays for the Uni I work for doing Open Days, so it needs not to clash with one of those.

robwright · February 2020

Up for helping with organisation and recording on the day.

I think it would be great to keep it to one room so that if people aren’t playing there is a bit of an audience for those that are. I spent most of the time in the main room last time and it was a great atmosphere and very supportive.

Brocco · February 2020

@robwright and some vox?

Oh and I can play drums if people need it, and supply the kit.
Or just play guitar/bass.

Kit + ability to play well most welcome.

@Brocco How many volunteer forumite drummers = 1 Connor?

Brocco · February 2020

@Funkfingers - this goes to your earlier question on the number of attendees needed to cover costs, as Connor was certainly excellent last time, but we did pay him, so it would virtually guarantee a viable event if we could find an excellent drummer prepared to play solely for the love of music

nickp · February 2020

I know a drummer from my (ex) band who would probably be happy to play if he is free

Octatonic did all the drumming at the first jam event in Leicester and was superb at it. He’s a great drummer. If hes offering and can make the proposed date it’s worth taking his offer seriously.

100 percent agree

octatonic · February 2020

Thank you for the compliments.

I'm happy to drum if I am in the country.

spark240 · February 2020

@Brocco - possibly get my singer pal Ian to attend ...

we have all learnt to be polite to a drummer...never upset the drummer...

clarkefan · February 2020

Interested

Vibetronic · February 2020

yep I'll be up for it!

MagicPigDetective · February 2020

More needed, roll up! For anyone reading who hasn’t been to an event like this before and is unsure, I was super nervous before last year’s Bristol Jam. I needn’t have worried, everyone was super cool, non judgmental and not competitive, I had a blast.

octatonic · February 2020

Do we have a date?

Brocco · February 2020

Hoping that someone based in or near Bristol will step forward to manage the venue side of things including getting us some dates!

nickp · February 2020

@Brocco ; - I'll help as I live just outside - tell me what I need to do (a list is always good) and I'll try to move it forwards. I need some pointers as I'm a bit time short as an elderly relative has been in hospital since boxing day so the days are somewhat messy

adampeter · February 2020

I would be up for this date permitting

Howdy, Stranger!
