andyonbass Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 My daughter is off to Bournemouth Uni in Sept and as an improving Bass player she is hoping there might be a jam session or two locally that she might be able to attend. She's 19, been playing for a year or so and is confident enough to play with other musicians in a pub setting provided she knows the songs! She regularly attends a jam here in Swindon where they tend to play indie numbers rather than endless blues guitar jams and is hoping to find something similar in Bournemouth. Any recommendation Bournemouth folks? Thanks in advance......Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'll speak to my drummer. He's down Bournemouth/Poole way and will know I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 The daughter of one of my fellow dog walkers has just graduated from Bournemouth Uni. I'll see what she knows.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 The scene is dominated by the weekly Stan's Blues Jams. If you don't like blues (or aren't one of the clique, which is why I gave up on em) then there's not much else bar the open mikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brook_fan Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 She should check out Absolute Music. An awful lot going on there. Robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With luck she'll meet some like-minded fellow students....

Mickeyboro Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 An alternative to Absolute is North Road Music Centre on the outskirts of Poole. The clientele is probably more in tune with her tastes. Absolute has tuition in the days and bands at night which tend to be older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moooper Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Bournemouth doesn't really have a very good music scene unfortunately. But to be honest she will get a lot of contacts from University as it rules this town in most regards. Poole is a little better music wise (marginally).

chris_b Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 If she wants to see some live music there's al lot of it at the Swanage Blues Festival in October. http://www.swanage-blues.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 There are jam sessions on most days. Bring your bass and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
