Finding local jam session

[SteveXFR]

I want to get out and play with other musicians and learn a bit more about jamming and improvisation so I want to find local jam sessions but I don't have a clue where to look.

Any tips on how to find them?

Stick an ad on JMB asking for jam buddies that might work

Post on your local FB muso/band pages

Look out for open mic nights.

Head out to rehearsal studios, look at the notice boards if they have them

NZ has a site called Eventfinder. It isn't at all fussy about what gets posted up as an event. Loads of bars put their entire DJ band and jam / open mic sessions on. Assume there's something similar operating in UK.

 

If so, it's likely very searchable by location date and key words.

 

Ime if you are quick on the uptake it's easy to be the only bassist sitting in all night. Always ask someone new if they want bass.

 

The more you do it the more songs you never knew you know without dropping too many clams.

I might have missed this info, but if you tell us roughly where you are I’m sure you’ll get a few suggestions from the community. I know of 3 or 4 jam nights within 30 mins of my location.

It might be helpful if you stated your area of search ?

 

maybe zoom offers more possibilities now ?

I'm looking around Frome/Warminster area. 

Zoom is OK but I'd rather actually get out
