Jamming Session (Led Zeppelin Tribute) @ Balmain Studio ($10.00 cover charge)

Hello Jammers,

Led Zeppelin are one of the best-selling music artists of all time; their total record sales are estimated to be between 200 to 300 million units worldwide. They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums and six number-one albums on the US Billboard 200, with five of their albums certified Diamond in the US. Rolling Stone magazine described them as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the Seventies", and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995; the museum's biography of the band states that they were "as influential" during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960's.

So far the following songs (all in original score or key change noted) have been nominated if you want to learn them and be ready to play or sing them on the night:

1. Whole lotta love

What you need to bring/be aware off:

1. Your own gear, amps, stands, instruments, cables, extension leads,you're own microphine for hygenic reasons (though we supply one) if you intend to sing, picks,sheet music/tabs/chord charts etc etc-these will not be supplied.
2. Anything to replenish yourself, snacks, bottled water etc-there is a general convenience store a few shops down from us.
3. Due to the size of the studio there will be a maximum capacity of between 7 players in the studio at any one time depending on instruments involved.
4. Though we like to have a bit of a structured approach with pre-learning some songs from a song list before we meet up this is not a hard and fast rule as you can join in and improvise/jam your way through some tunes.
5. Though the studio is soundproofed to an extent,we are surrounded by residential strata living communit and we have to respect noise levels in and around the studio.
6. This is an alcohol and drug free event/meetup so if you intend to bring either this group is not for you.

To give you an idea of songs available so far look into this Spotify list:

6. Otherwise refer to Youtube, your cd collection, itunes, sheet music, chord charts etc to learn the tunes.
7. Will have a P.A. set up, basic drum kit and electric piano is available.
8. Decibel levels will to be kept at reasonably modest levels.
9. We must start on time and finish on time. I suggest setting up 7:15pm for a 7:30pm commencement.
10. If for any reason you decide that you cannot attend, even if it's a last minute change, please decline your RSVP on Meetup to allow someone else to slot in place of you. It's only fair.
