If you are interested in playing at the Blues Jam...

If you take a look at the playlist below, we have 10 different Blues standard tunes you can choose from.  If you are a solo player coming along to the jam, this will ensure that you can prepare for the night and know what to expect.

When you turn up on the night, just let us know your name, and which tune you'd like to play.  The backing band will know all the tunes, and then it's just a case of waiting your turn and having a jam.

What to bring:
As changeover times are critical, please bring the minimum of equipment.  
We will have a tube amp available to play through, with a drive channel. 
If you bring your guitar that will be enough.

So that we have an idea of what numbers to expect, we'd also appreciate it if you fill out the contact form to the right - just to let us know you plan to come.
