SteveXFR Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Stick an ad on JMB asking for jam buddies that might work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazm66 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 It might be helpful if you stated your area of search ? maybe zoom offers more possibilities now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking around Frome/Warminster area. Zoom is OK but I'd rather actually get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
