    My mate and I are jamming (mainly) thrash covers in nearby Redditch if anyone is interested. We're both guitarists already but if you play bass or drums hit me up.

    If I knew what Thrash was I'd have loved to have joined you :) but hopefully you find somebody and we can improve the musical outlook of the West Midlands as a collective...

    I guess a logical start would be something low key, maybe a few of us at a rehearsal room or similar with a few songs to play and just see how it goes?

    So Mr Hendrix, you have the skills for the job but... Are you experienced?

    Ahem.

    Seems like it could work if we find a day where a few of us can convene at a rehearsal room somewhere around here, have a few songs to learn enough of to bluff through, then give it a go.

    I like garagey indie (White stripes and strokes), Led Zeppelin, early blues, Jeff Buckley, Velvet Underground, but will try not to rule out any styles really if that helps. Play guitar fairly sloppily, can play piano, could get away with singing if not the main focus etc

    How about you Sir?

    Mmm...Well mine ranges from fairly mainstream early punk , right through to u2, police type stuff, them onto rock, i.e. rush, Lizzy, LZ, Ac Etc....lets see who chips in

    I'm sure there's some common ground there then, may help me learn new stuff too which would be good. 

    Roll up roll up step right this way

    Hey Guys just joined up today I'm a bassist based in Stourbridge.

    currently a member of 2 bands and gigging/jamming with another 4-5, 

    into most things as long as the vocals are understandable (not a fan of this modern screamy metal bollocks)

    over the last 20 odd yers I've played in soul Motown, blues, rock, metal, punk band's

    If you wanna make a noise I'm always up for a jam!


    I also help run a jam night every Wednesday at a local pub in Stourbridge town centre, we provide all the backline and PA, and a house band to jam with if you want or bring some friends and jam with them,

    the jam is basically a free for all so any style/ age/ ability is fine by us just bring your instrument and let us know you want to join in the fun.

    the page for the jam is here if your interested www.facebook.com/wesupportlivemusic/

    Rather than start another might as well bring this back from the dead.

    Anyone around Birmingham interested in a jam?

    Well I definitely can't sing - i wony subject you to that. Never played bass but sure I can do the basics. Sounds like we need a drummer

    Just thought I'd tag in @Cirrus as an excellent Birmingham based musician who may be allowed out to play :)
