The Jam: The Circle Session ⭕️

The Heart of the Circle ❤️ The Circle Session is where the art breathes. It is a dedicated space for songwriters 🎸, poets 📖, comedians 🎤, and storytellers 🗣️ to find their ground, test their craft, and connect.
We all sit in a circle, removing the barrier between "performer" and "audience". It is a collaborative laboratory 🧪 where a new chord progression might meet a spoken-word verse, or a storyteller finds the perfect rhythm.
Practice. Share. Connect. ✨ This is a safe space for all levels. Whether you are a seasoned pro or sharing your work for the first time, you are among peers. We focus on:

• The Craft: A low-pressure room to test rough drafts and "work out" new material. 🛠️
• The Collaboration: Exchange chords, ideas, and feedback to help each other grow. 🤝
• Join the Beat: We provide shakers 🪇 for those who want to join the rhythm and feel the vibe!
• The Social: We don't just stay in the room. We organise regular social nights out 🍻 for all attendees, so the friendships made in the circle continue outside of it! 🕺

Technical Setup ⚡️ We provide the essentials so you can focus on the performance:

• PA System: 3 channels available if a plug-in is required.
• Mics & Gear: Microphones, cables, and a sheet stand with a light provided. 🎼
• Keyboards: A keyboard can be set up for the evening—just please ask in advance! 🎹
• Amps: Bass players are more than welcome to bring along a bass amp. 🎸🔊
• Instruments: Please bring your own primary instruments!
