Jam Night at Old Market Tavern?????

Did anyone go to the Jam Night last night at The Old Market Tavern in Altrincham?
I got a text message from a friend who was there saying they were short of Drummers/Bass Players. As a) A Bass Player and b) Live in Timperley, I would have been there like a shot had i known.
I have PM'd the venue to try and find more details, but does anyone know if it is a regular Monday Jam Night??????

If it is, please let me know. As a drummer, I would be interested in this. Not many jam nights round South Manchester.

As a guitar playing living in Timperley I'm interested. Shame it wasn't advertised.

I have just had a reply from John and apparently it is a regular Monday Night Jam Night.
I have suggested he puts the details up here each week.

Ha!! I passed it last night on me way to give a drum lesson and noticed a van and the curtains drawn... Thought to meself I'll have to pop in there and see if it's a jam night - but came back via the M56 !!

I may well pop in next week. Happy days.

are bands welcome to turn up and play a couple? We're just testing the water and we've done 2 jam nights (cheers Hard to Handle and Dean Casement Trio for letting us play) as warm ups?

I would PM John at OMT and ask. Can't see it being a problem as i have done the same with a band before. Great way to run through new material......
None of us even knew there was a Jam Night, so haven't been and don't know what the script is.

Cool, would be good to put a face to a name. See you there. Any more takers?

# Posted by Whatever! - 21/04/2010, 19:33 (GMT)

I would be up for a jam.
is it all rock though?

Took heed from this blog and created a Jam Night blog miself, for The Royal Tavern in St.Helens. We should all start "bigging-up" the various jams throughout the North West.

# Posted by Rumble Fat Band - 21/04/2010, 19:51 (GMT)

Good idea Andy. The only problem is that the blogs disappear too quickly.

# Posted by HandyAndy - 21/04/2010, 19:56 (GMT)

I think Mr Paul NWB could maybe stick summin' on the "Pinned Posts" for quick glancing? (sounds like a plan)

What about a "tab" above - ???

@ Willow, this is a non-smoking site - lol,

# Posted by HandyAndy - 21/04/2010, 22:28 (GMT)

Yes! A tab would be great..

# Posted by HYDRA - 21/04/2010, 23:20 (GMT)

yep, I'm deffo up for it. I'm a left handed drummer though, so will prob bring my own kit.

# Posted by Jonthebassman - 22/04/2010, 00:13 (GMT)

I popped in for a pint on Monday as my band were rehearsing next door..I would definitely recommend it and John has asked me to help spread the word on this forum...I'll be there with my bass this coming Monday as not rehearsing..

# Posted by 77luke77 - 22/04/2010, 17:45 (GMT)

Is it a regular thing? Mcr based blues/rock guitarist/singer looking to get back into it and up with a band but need to get some stage time (and practice!)

# Posted by Cheese Puff Death Squad - 22/04/2010, 19:32 (GMT)

We were there on 12th and were going back on 26th.It was quite a happening thing man.Everyone should come down,what else you doin on a monday night?
Oh and if theres any vocals/bass players who'd like to join us,we'll see you there,Cheers Gilly

# Posted by Bobo - 24/04/2010, 13:26 (GMT)

I believe it is every two weeks, the next one being Monday 26th. It seems to be mainly blues/rock so personally a bit of variation would be nice. I don't think there is an official restriction on style, it's just a jam. Stu (Rumble) I might be there Monday and it would be nice to meet you! (Bob - the guitarist/bassist/keys). Wear a white carnation!!!

# Posted by Rumble Fat Band - 24/04/2010, 13:36 (GMT)

Hi Bob,
I recently joined a Jazz/Funk/Fusion band as well as Rumble and we may be rehearsing. But if not, I shall indeed wear a White Carnation.

# Posted by Jonthebassman - 26/04/2010, 19:43 (GMT)

Going down there shortly...see some of you down there

# Posted by Bobo - 27/04/2010, 10:42 (GMT)

Apparently the next jam night is 4 weeks away instead of two because of holidays.
Good luck Stuart. Let me know if they want a guitarist!! Bob.

"the Jam night is alternate Mondays for us. I believe now that the other Mondays are being taken on by the very fine Cheese PDS."

Jam and cheese?? Very lancashire!!
LOL
