I am proud to announce that we having our jam at the Temple Of Art & Music in Elephant & Castle!! Chord Flow: A structured improvisation session where players explore a shared chord progression and key, creating music organically in the moment. Lineup (on stage together): • 2 guitarists • 1 bass • 1 drummer • 1–2 singers • 1 additional instrument (sax, trumpet, percussion, etc.) How It Works: 1. A simple chord progression and its key are written on a whiteboard opposite the stage. 2. The group has 5 minutes on stage to explore the progression together. 3. Tempo, time signature, style, and chord changes are left open — the music’s direction is determined by the group. 4. When the timer starts, the music begins. Musicians respond to each other in real time, building the flow organically. 5. No planning or discussion — focus on listening, reacting, and creating a shared musical experience. 6. After 5 minutes, the group rotates and a new set of musicians begin. 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.

Learn rumba flamenca and join our flamenco social in Soho, London. **Learn rumba flamenca and join our flamenco social in Soho, London.** **Rumba flamenca** is one of the palos de Ida y Vuelta — a fusion of Cuban rumba, Andalusian flamenco, and Catalan rumba. Rhythmic, expressive, and full of duende. Whether you're completely new to flamenco or you've been taking classes and need more practice space, this is your space. **What to expect:** * 1.5 hours of rumba flamenca class (beginners welcome — we'll teach you from scratch) with 10-minute break * 1.5 hours of social practice where you can work on what you've learned, dance freely, and connect with other flamenco students * Welcoming, inclusive atmosphere — come alone or with friends * Your ticket includes 1 complimentary drink (soft drink, small wine, or sangria) * The class is taught by **Flamenco con Maika**, a dance school and project led by Maika Jiménez Blanco, an instructor with more than 18 years of international experience. **BOOK HERE:** **https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/flamenco-rumba-class-social-soho-sun-21-jun-tickets-1989148414454** **Why come?** Flamenco students often struggle to find spaces to practise socially outside of formal classes. And if you're not ready to commit to monthly lessons but want to try flamenco occasionally, this is exactly what you need. Come dance, meet people who love Spanish culture, and maybe stay for dinner after (our Spanish kitchen is upstairs!). No performance pressure. This is a social, not a showcase. **Come as you are.** **Important information:** * Rumba flamenca is a solo flamenco style (you don't need a partner) * We'll work on footwork (zapateado), arms (braceo), and compás (rhythm) * The social hour is relaxed — no pressure, just practice and fun * All levels welcome — most attendees are beginners or intermediate **Minimum number of attendees required.** The organiser reserves the right to cancel up to 24 hours before the event if minimum numbers aren't reached. Full refund will be issued if cancelled. Attendees may cancel up to 2 days before the event for a full refund.
