We rehearse every Monday evening , starting at 19:30 and finishing at 21:30 (with a break for snacks and chat obviously!).

Register for the LSE talk about AI/European Recovy (on 24 Feb)
I am posting this reminder if you want to attend the LSE lecture: "Creative destruction, AI, and the European recovery" - on 24 Feb: for this lecture tickets are given out via a ballot?! You have to apply between 10am on Monday 16 Feb and 10am on Tuesday 17 Feb (24 hours only). I will post the talk itself separately, as long as I manage to get an in-person ticket myself.
An attendance fee will apply on 24 Feb for me organising this: researching the details, taking you to the right lecture theatre (they use several) and also the social bit of going for a drink afterwards to chat about the lecture (or anything else we fancy talking about). This fee will go towards meetup site costs - I hope this makes sense.
More info about the ballot: https://www.lse.ac.uk/events/nobel-laureate
And the subject: 'The Schumpeterian growth paradigm emphasizes the role of innovation and "creative destruction" in driving economic growth; new technologies/products replacing outdated ones to lead to increased productivity and economic transformation'.
If you have any question, please ask me.
Regards
Giselle

The Alt/Cult Winter Social
Isn't winter ghastly? It's freezing, dark and depressing and once the December holidays are out the way, there's nothing to look forward to. Well, almost nothing, because it's time for another Alt/Cult group social! Meet and/or greet new friends and old strangers as we talk about what Oscar movies we've seen, what festivals we have tickets for, how everyone else's holidays are better than ours and all the rest of the regular winter conversation.
After 2025's Zone 2 circuit, we're going for the Betsey Trottwood in Clerkenwell, because it's a great looking pub with a cool atmosphere and because I walked past there a couple of times recently and quite fancied an excuse to go back. See you there!

LondonJamSessions x TAM MIC DROP (20 Second Chain) #31
I am proud to announce that we having our jam at the Temple Of Art & Music in Elephant & Castle!!
20 Second Chain:
A structured improvisation format where a musical “chain” unfolds organically, with each player responding to and building on what came before.
Lineup (on stage together):
- 2 guitarists
- 1 bass
- 1 drummer
- 1–2 singers
- 1 additional instrument (sax, trumpet, percussion, etc.)
How It Works:
1. All musicians on stage are assigned a number, which determines the playing order.
2. Playing order, a key (and available chords) is written on a whiteboard opposite the stage.
3. Number 1 begins alone with a simple idea for 20 seconds — leave space for others to build.
4. Every 20 seconds, the next numbered musician joins one at a time, layering something that complements what’s already happening.
5. Once everyone has entered and the full band is playing, the group improvises for 5 minutes, developing the groove — complexity and solos can grow naturally.
6. No on-stage planning — listen and respond in real time.
7. After the timer ends, the group rotates and a new chain begins.
The Temple Of Art and Music is a live music venue and bar in Elephant & Castle so I encourage anyone attending to bring friends as it will be great fun for them even if they are not playing.
The venue has a PA system, drum kit, mics and guitar/bass amps.
There is no guarantee that there will be cymbals or drum accessories with the drum kit at the venue. Drummers please being your own if you can.
Like all our other jams it will be a chance to jam with other musicians playing the music that you love in a gentle environment with no judgement and no pressure. This jam also uniquely gives the opportunity to play in front of a crowd!
Tickets are **£10 online** message us let us know what instrument you play and we will confirm if there is space and send you the Eventbrite link for the jam.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information about this jam and London Jam Sessions.
At London Jam Sessions we have an active community on WhatsApp where we all discuss the upcoming jams and future events. Everyone in the community is encouraged to ask questions and bring forward new ideas. Dm me and I can add you to our Whatsapp group.

February Circlesinging Workshop: Discover Your Musical Voice
**Circlesinging Workshop: Discover Your Musical Voice (90 minutes)**
**Register here**! [https://pci.jotform.com/form/260257573283158](https://pci.jotform.com/form/260257573283158)
Join members of VoiceExchange on February 22 for an introduction to -- or continued practice of -- the art of collaborative vocal improvisation. In this 90-minute workshop, we'll explore the captivating practice of circlesinging—where voices intertwine to create spontaneous, layered musical landscapes without instruments, written music, or rehearsal.
**The Workshop Experience**
Standing together in a circle, you'll discover your innate capacity to create music with nothing but your voice. We'll guide you through foundational techniques for developing simple musical patterns that blend with others, creating beautiful moments of shared sound. Through focused instruction and guided practice, you'll experience the unique joy of co-creating improvised vocal music.
This workshop draws from practices developed by Bobby McFerrin, Rhiannon, and Música do Círculo, introducing you to the essential elements that make collaborative vocal improvisation both accessible and deeply rewarding.
**What You'll Learn**
* Basic techniques to unlock your personal capacity for musical invention
* How to create simple looped musical ideas that combine with others
* Foundational skills including listening techniques and basic vocal layering
**Who Should Attend**
This workshop welcomes anyone comfortable with their singing voice—particularly those who've found themselves naturally harmonizing with songs on the radio or humming improvised melodies. No formal music training or ability to read sheet music required—just bring your curiosity and willingness to explore.
**What You'll Take Away**
* **First Steps in Musical Discovery:** Begin to uncover your unique musical voice and capacity for spontaneous creation
* **Taste of Community Creation:** Experience the connection that forms when voices unite in collaborative musical conversation
* **Introduction to Mindful Listening:** Practice attentive listening and responding through sound
**Workshop Details**
**Date**: Sunday, February 22, 2026
**Time**: 3:00-4:30 PM

Acoustic Gypsy Jazz Jam
We will play acoustic gypsy/swing jazz music. This time will be at a bar just around the corner from where we met last time. This way folks can order foods or drinks if they want and we can have more room to spread out and also will not have a hard stop time since the bar will be open anyway. The first jam we had out here in Leesburg was really fun and I met lots of fun new musician friends. Looking forward to this next one. Hopefully, we will see some of those great musicians who showed up last time and maybe some new faces as well. :)
This space is also on the ground floor, so no stairs to walk up. Also still just around the corner from the free downtown parking garage.
