IMC: Jam Session 21

Welcome to our twenty-first jam!

EVENT DETAILS

Location:

Pirate Studios Dalston - 42-56 Tottenham Rd, London N1 4BZ

We'll message the attendees individually with studio number and access codes.

Attendees:

The event is capped at 10 people so we can all fit in the room and so each person has a good amount of time to play.

***In order to get a balance of instruments and so that people get enough time to play, please message us before signing up and paying.

We'd like to limit the numbers to 3 guitarists, 2 drummers and 2 pianists/keys per session. No limits on any other instrument.

***This event is now full for guitar and bass***

How to prepare for the session:

***As always, we ask that you try and prepare for each of the songs***

It would be great if all attendees could prepare for all 8 tracks (even if there are perhaps 1 or 2 that you would like to take the lead on, or if they are outside what you might normally play). This way we can play each of the songs in a style that reflects all of the musicians in attendance.

Studio equipment and what to bring:

Drummers:

• Drum kit and cymbals are provided, but feel free to bring your own cymbals if you like.
• Sticks are not provided so kindly bring your own.

Guitar and Bass players

• Bring your instrument and a spare cable to connect it to the amps (2 guitar amps and 1 bass amp provided by the studio).

Keyboard players

• Unfortunately Pirate Studios can't guarantee keyboard availability so please bring your own keyboard and stand.
• If this is a problem for you please let us know and we will try to help.

1 Mixer and 2 Speakers are provided by the studio. There are also 3 microphones to amplify any instruments not mentioned above (percussions, saxophone, accordion, etc.).

**IMPORTANT** New Pirate Studios Policy

1. Pirate Studios have a new security policy which requires us to provide them with a list of attendee full names prior to the jam. We will get in touch with people who haven't been before in order to get this information.
2. Pirate Studios also state that all attendees bring photo ID to the session (where the name on the ID matches the full name you provide to us) in order to be allowed access to the studio. We, the organisers, don't need to see your ID but security might.

Let us know if you have any questions. Looking forward to the session!
