As it is three months to mid-September, thought now would be a good time to tag everyone who previously expressed interest or committed to this event to test the appetite for reinstating this jam in late September?

nickp · June 2020

I'd be up for it if it's Ok with the powers that be (HM Gov't, not my wife)

stratman3142 · June 2020

I'm up for it, provided it complies with Gov guidelines as I'm a bit of a stickler for following the rules

free jazz not your thing then?

octatonic · June 2020

Mid September should be OK for me in terms of schedule.
End of September probably won't be.

MagicPigDetective · June 2020

To be honest, at the moment I can't imagine going; can't see me wanting to travel 200 miles to a large city for some time. Perhaps I might change my view in a month or so, depending on how things are.

Only if that's in accordance with the instructions.

Structured improv is allowed in groups of up to 4, but only 3 minutes at a time and from a distance of 2m. The virus is very discerning about when and how it chooses to transmit

Bristol's infection rate is one of the lowest in the country IIRC

Jason · June 2020

I've got to wait for clearing dates from Uni, I tend to work quite a few Saturdays doing interviews in September, so put me down as a possible until further notice

Just don't stand still for too long or you might end up in the river.

Legionreturns · June 2020

I'd seriously doubt it from my point of view for mostly financial reasons, but also a mild lack of incentive given that I'm just about finished building my own studio at the new house!

(See Studio and Recording section for build thread!)

I see it is, that's good to know, though I'd be staying in Cardiff, with one of the highest rates.

roberty · June 2020

Well, pencil me in @Brocco . I'll be very happy when the rehearsal studios are open again. I have heard predictions of a second wave peaking in September but I'll be glad if they are wrong

spark240 · June 2020

Im in subject to the usuals....

MagicPigDetective · June 2020

I feel a bit of a wuss with my negative response. Perhaps when I'm allowed to travel more than 5 miles from my home I will start looking more positively at things!

Same here.

mrkb · June 2020

I can’t do 19/20th, but am ok for any other weekend dates.

Brocco · June 2020

@Wazmeister @robwright @mart @designerseye88 @Haych @RMJ @uncledick @darcym @NickBrown @chrispike306 @UncleBiff ;

Tagging some formites who I have been in touch with previously via pm or who attended last years along with a few new formites within striking distance of Bristol

Hope some of you can join us!

UncleBiff · June 2020

I’ll confirm nearer the time if everything is getting back to normal.

designerseye88 · June 2020

I should be up for this event if its still going ahead?

Wazmeister · June 2020

Man, I'd love to be there.... but Im in Turkey on that date

Thanks for the offer though.

Brocco · June 2020

@designerseye88 - the event is going unless Government restrictions nearer the time prevent it. Based on feedback received so far the most likely dates are Sat 12th or Sunday 13th Sept. We probably need to find a minimum 10 confirmed attendees, hopefully more, and by my count we currently have 7 hands up and a few more maybes.

mart · June 2020

I should be available to play lots of bass, if there are some songs I’m at least vaguely familiar with.

darcym · June 2020

I'm afraid I won't be able to commit to anything until very close to the time during this pandemic, sounds weak I know, but I have family members at risk and I needs to assess where we are and the state of the country around me each day.

Brocco · June 2020

@mart - great to have you on board again

@designerseye88 - welcome on board

I'll update the first page in this discussion tomorrow and with a list of those who have confirmed and those who are maybe's

nickp · June 2020

Factory studios are shut at the moment so we won't be able to book until they re-open.......I am good for that date as well (Saturday 12 September)

spark240 · June 2020

@Brocco - I’m pretty sure Nick and bernie will be up for this also...also have another
lad interested....I met him at the guitar show and he joined FB recently.

Brocco · June 2020

Per the updated first post, we currently have 10 people committed to the event and another 5 possibles.

Brocco · June 2020

@spark240 - thought that may be the case -- do you think Ian would also be interested?

paging @nickos236 and @Bernie ;

Howdy, Stranger!
