Live Music, Bands & Venues in South-West London & Surrey

The Jam Sessions - A thriving jam 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 from players that work with houshold names to those looking for a place to get their first live playing experience and meet other musicians. A friendly and enthusiastic audience add to the great atmosphere, so whether you're a player or a fan of live music there's no better venue at which to spend your Monday night in the Surrey and South-West London area.

The Jam-Pact Jam Sessions are run by Mark and Tony (bassist & drummer from the Jam-Pact house band) along with a different guest feature artist fronting the band each week. These include Alix Live, Robin Bibi, TJ Johnson, Chris Dowling, Murray Gould, Papa George and Pete Bedford to name a few.

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.
