HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our system is designed around a 'tag in, tag out' principle. We encourage singers or musicians to prepare at least 7 to 8 songs that they can perform in full ahead of the jam, considering their potentially limited home practice time. You'll have the opportunity to add your song choices to the setlist on your group's Notion page and further discuss them in the group chat. We aim to have a backup for all roles - ideally, we'd have two vocalists, two guitarists, two drummers, and two bassists. Our main objective is to ensure that we always have a full band for each jam session, even if there are unforeseen cancellations.
IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT?
Nope, no age limit. Everyone is welcome. From time to time, we also have a teens group. We recommend parental supervision for jammers under 18 years of age.
DO I HAVE TO BRING MY OWN INSTRUMENT/S?
Yes, you have to bring your own instruments, The rooms will have mics, mic leads, stands, 412 guitar cabinets, one bass cabinet and a P.A.
