The Monday Night Jam Session in Surbiton, Surrey

Jam-Pact "Take 2" Night (see below)
with Alan Glenn & Rik Martin
(Oct 22nd 2009).

(Special thanks to Blake of Note Music for this video) "Showreel" of several guest artists including Mick Rogers of Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Papa George & Masashi Hara of Georgie Pie. (Special thanks to Brian for his video work at our events)
A thriving jam session to which all are welcome, featuring a wide range of musical styles - rock, funk, blues, R'n'B and soul with a bit of reggae, jazz, latin and pop in the mix. A great range of musicians take part including players that work with houshold names. Friendly and enthusiastic audiences add to the great atmosphere, so whether you're a player or a fan of live music there is no better venue at which to spend your Monday nights in the Surrey and South & West London area.
We have a different guest artist fronting the house band each week including Mick Rogers of Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Papa George, Paul Rose, Murray Gould (Sugababes, Never The Bride etc.) and TJ Johnson amongst many others (full list here). The jam sessions are run by Mark and Tony (bassist & drummer from the Jam-Pact house band).
The Elm Tree pub is in Victoria Road, Surbiton, Surrey KT6 4NQ - just around the corner from Surbiton Station. It is a large, comfortable and well appointed pub venue with a good range of well kept beers, sofa areas for relaxing and friendly staff. As well as Surbiton Station being close by, The Elm Tree is well served by buses including two night buses that go to Twickenham, Putney and central London.

Live Music in South-West London & Surrey

Live Bands & Music Venues - We have a growing number of great bands and artists that we promote at a number of live music venues. Check out who's on where in the gig-guide to the right.

Bands Looking For Gigs

If you are a good band looking for gigs, including function work, come down to one of our jam sessions and play a couple of songs, we find this much better than listening to mp3's/CD's! We are interested in bands of all styles.

Function Bands

Function Bands - If you're looking for a good function band for your wedding, engagement or birthday party, or for corporate entartainment we can provide live bands to enhance your event. We have artists for every type and size of function from a solo artist to a nine-piece soul band complete with horn section. Just let us know what you want here!.
The jam session is run in the following format: players/singers put your name down on the player list under your instrument/vocal category, we then put line-ups together from this list to play two-song sets. We don't operate a "first come first served" system, we try to put the most suited players together to get the best sets we can. It is very rare for someone not to get to play, however, early arrival is more likely to ensure you an optimum line-up, as if it is busy, which it usually is, it's easier to plan for players that are present. Depending on how many players for a particular instrument are there on the night, you may get to play more than one set.
Please note, this is not an open mic session for original material. If you are a singer, you need to know some "standard" songs as there isn't time to teach players new songs on the fly. Original or less than standard songs are OK if there is at least a guitarist and bassist there that already know them.
As regular visitors can see, this site still being expanded on a regular basis and will continue to develop in the weeks to come, so please visit again soon for more about Jam-Pact activities.
