Hampton Hub Jam night
8.30 pm - 11 pm
Musicians meet other like-minded people and many bands have formed on the back of this Jam
Featuring a different guest artist fronting the house band every week. Guest artists include Mick Rogers of Manfred Mann's Earth Band, John Idan of the Yardbirds, Papa George, Robin Bibi, Alex Anthony, Tim Hain and many other noted artists. PA, amps and drum it provided, just bring your instrument/sticks. FREE ADMISSION.
The jam sessions are run in the following format: players/singers put your name down on the player list under your instrument/vocal category, we then put line-ups together from this list to play two-song sets. We don't operate a "first come first served" system, we try to put the most suited players together to get the best sets we can. It is very rare for someone not to get to play, however, early arrival is more likely to ensure you an optimum line-up, as if it is busy, which it usually is, it's easier to plan for players that are present. Depending on how many players for a particular instrument are there on the night, you may get to play more than one set.
Please note, this is not an open mic session for original material. If you are a singer, you need to know some "standard" songs as there isn't time to teach players new songs on the fly. Original or less than standard songs are OK if there is at least a guitarist and bassist there that already know them.
