With a short set list that attendees can prepare in advance, it becomes a little less daunting to play and get the most out of practising in a group.\n\nSee below for this week's setlist. Please sign up before attending.\n\nAlready full for your instrument? Please check back every other Wednesday, when new sessions go live. If you keep not being able to get a spot, please message the organiser (Xie).\n\nLocation: Vortex upstairs\n\n**Who's it for**\n\nAnyone who has practised following the forms (chord progressions) of jazz tunes - maybe on their own at home - and would like to build up playing experience, expand repertoire and practice performing with other musicians.\n\nThere are various introductions on how jazz jams work - see e.g.\n\nhttps://jazznightschool.org/pages/jam-session-basics\n\nYou don't need to get all these details right for these novice practice sessions. The set list format should offer opportunities for those at different levels of developing their playing.\n\nWhile at the beginning one might struggle to follow/comp the chords or play through the melody, it gets easier over time and one can start to develop approaches to improvisation, harmonise lead lines, add intros/endings, work on communication between band members, and even listen to recordings together and pick up specific arrangements.\n\nBass players are expected to be able to play a walking bass line on swing tunes, and simple bossa lines for bossa novas.\n\nPlaying the melody, or \"head\" - the responbility is shared between horns players (e.g. sax, trumpet, violin), guitar and piano. Feel free to discuss among the group before each song - different parts of the head or the starting / ending heads can be played by different players. Some melodies will better suit several voices at the same time, whereas others are sensitive to variations in how they are played and may prefer a single instrument at a time.\n\n**What it's like**\n\nA relaxed and welcoming atmosphere - please put aside any worries of making mistakes if you’re thinking of joining us for the first time. To ensure the group is accessible for those at different levels, I ask that each novice session should work on only the below four songs of the set list, unless each and every attendee feels they prefer to move on.\n\nEach novice session is limited to up to: 1 drummer, 2 bass, 2 keys, 2 guitar, 3/4 lead instruments. Always use the top of the description to see if there is an available slot for your instrument - please do not try to work this out yourself by looking at the other attendees' instruments.\n\n**Tunes this week (Sat 27 Dec)**\n\n* Tenor madness in Bb (warm up)\n\n(Rollins, Coltrane) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MkUvZUTFUc\n\n* Girl from Ipanema in F\n\n(Jazz Core) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGNSflh59KQ\n\n* Little Sunflower in Dm\n\n(Freddie Hubbard) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZBu0ARDGxs\n\n* Almost like being in love in Bb\n\n(Chad LB) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2DLnEhsimM\n\nEveryone is encouraged to listen to a variety of recordings for each song, but please ensure you are familiar with the recording provided as a primary reference.\n\n**Tune preview - next novice session (Sat 3 Jan, 11am only)**\n\n* All of me in C (warm up)\n\n(Sonny Stitt) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psUdIsccV9M\n\n* Billie's bounce in F\n\n(Charlie Parker) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4mRaEzwTYo\n\n* Black Orpheus in Am\n\n(Wayne Shorter) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4aJWz0ysDk\n\n* Old Devil Moon in F\n\n(Vincent Herring) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUlHaAdgJy8\n\n**Preparing for the session**\n\nThe chordal form of each song follow the iReal Pro app as a common reference, or you can use sheet music from Real Books.\n\nResource for sheet music:\n\nhttps://www.seventhstring.com/fbindex.html\n\nhttp://therealbook.info/\n\nTry to immerse yourself in the songs by listening to recordings by different artists on youtube, spotify etc.\n\nLearn the head (main melody) of the song if you can. Don't hesitate to let the band know you can play it so you can start things off\n\n**Equipment**\n\nthere is a piano, drum kit (no cymbals or high hat clutch), bass and guitar amps, stands, and microphones. Drummers: please bring cymbals (none available for rental) and hi hat clutch\n\n**Vocalists**\n\nSingers are welcome, however some of the repertoire are likely not in the right key for your range. If you are an experienced singer, it may be possible to arrange sessions with repertoire catered to you - to explore this, please first come to the \"Afternoon Open Jams\" so I can get a sense of your singing.\n\n**Cancellation policy**\n\nPlease try to make it to any session you sign up to, as the jams are organised around a particular mix of instruments.

We offer writing feedback and discussion, whatever your level. Never been before? That's fine. Can only come once in a while? That's fine. Want to come regularly? That's fine.\n\nWhile we're predominantly narrative-based, any type of writing is welcome. Fiction, non-fiction, screenplays, novels, short-stories... bring it along and see if it fits.\n\nThe cost is £5 to join us. Half of this goes to the bookshop and the other half goes towards snacks/drinks for everyone. Pay when you get there. (If you're having any financial problems, feel free to have a discreet chat with Chris about it).\n\nHOW IT WORKS\n\nFirst, we do introductions, which cover:\n\n1 - Who you are\n2 - What kind of thing you write\n3 - What you're working on\n4 - What you've done in the last two weeks.\n\nThen we find out who has stuff to read out (1,000 - 2,000 words), and who has questions/discussion points. If you'd prefer to do written hand-outs, you can as well.\n\nWe then run through as many people as we can fit in, so they can read out or run through a discussion point.\n\nThe group is run by Chris Brosnahan, an experienced writer and a long-running facilitator of writing groups.\n\nHOUSE RULES\n\n1 - No egos. Everyone's stuff is up for criticism/feedback.\n2 - Be constructive. We're not a review group - we're trying to help each other improve.\n3\\. No pressure\\. You can turn up and just observe if you want \\- you're not under pressure to read out or feed back\\.\n4 - We do our best to be a safe space. You don't know the backgrounds of everyone in the room. If you're going to read something that might be problematic or emotionally difficult, talk about it first - and if you're unsure, ask.\n5 - We do our best to be a safe space. For particularly graphic scenes, please discuss in advance. A reminder that listening to erotica is, in itself, a sex act, and needs the enthusiastic consent of everyone involved.\n6 - Content warnings apply. This doesn't just mean things like sex or violence. It also includes things like abuse, long-term illness, death - think of things that someone may find difficult if they're dealing with at the moment. We do our best to be a safe space.\n7 - If you're struggling with anything being read, you can take a break without any justification or questions.\n8 - Banned question: \"Is this based on your own life?\" - it doesn't add anything and can make discussion awkward. Please don't ask it.\n9 - Let other people talk. You'll get your chance to feedback or ask questions, but it can be all too easy to talk over people. You also don't need to respond to every piece of feedback.\n10 - Keep it respectful. Keep it friendly.\n\nAny problems? Get in touch and ask.","price":"£5","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1764833022000","seoName":"writing-group-live-at-the-all-good-bookshop","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-bicknacre/cate-artists-musicians/writing-group-live-at-the-all-good-bookshop-6461862688115312/","localIds":"19","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"740c72cd-0c37-4869-af2a-c5d554f44346","sid":"fab6c923-d1ee-4b83-aeca-aea5cbfd5db4"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1764833022508,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"artists-musicians","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6505","location":"12 Gillett St, London N16 8JH, UK","infoId":"6461862614899512","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/1/c/highres_500522588.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Novice | 11-1pm Dec 20 Vortex upstairs","content":"**Update: full for drums, bass, vocals, piano, 2 of 3 spots taken for lead instruments (sax, trumpet, violin, flute), 1 of 2 spots taken for guitar**\n\nfull list of scheduled sessions: https://www.meetup.com/Practice-Jazz-Jam-Sessions/events/\n\n**What is it**\n\nThe novice rehearsal sessions provide an opportunity for people who are relatively new to jazz, to play in a friendly, low-pressure environment. With a short set list that attendees can prepare in advance, it becomes a little less daunting to play and get the most out of practising in a group.\n\nSee below for this week's setlist. Please sign up before attending.\n\nAlready full for your instrument? Please check back every other Wednesday, when new sessions go live. If you keep not being able to get a spot, please message the organiser (Xie).\n\nLocation: Vortex upstairs\n\n**Who's it for**\n\nAnyone who has practised following the forms (chord progressions) of jazz tunes - maybe on their own at home - and would like to build up playing experience, expand repertoire and practice performing with other musicians.\n\nThere are various introductions on how jazz jams work - see e.g.\n\nhttps://jazznightschool.org/pages/jam-session-basics\n\nYou don't need to get all these details right for these novice practice sessions. The set list format should offer opportunities for those at different levels of developing their playing.\n\nWhile at the beginning one might struggle to follow/comp the chords or play through the melody, it gets easier over time and one can start to develop approaches to improvisation, harmonise lead lines, add intros/endings, work on communication between band members, and even listen to recordings together and pick up specific arrangements.\n\nBass players are expected to be able to play a walking bass line on swing tunes, and simple bossa lines for bossa novas.\n\nPlaying the melody, or \"head\" - the responbility is shared between horns players (e.g. sax, trumpet, violin), guitar and piano. Feel free to discuss among the group before each song - different parts of the head or the starting / ending heads can be played by different players. Some melodies will better suit several voices at the same time, whereas others are sensitive to variations in how they are played and may prefer a single instrument at a time.\n\n**What it's like**\n\nA relaxed and welcoming atmosphere - please put aside any worries of making mistakes if you’re thinking of joining us for the first time. To ensure the group is accessible for those at different levels, I ask that each novice session should work on only the below four songs of the set list, unless each and every attendee feels they prefer to move on.\n\nEach novice session is limited to up to: 1 drummer, 2 bass, 2 keys, 2 guitar, 3/4 lead instruments. Always use the top of the description to see if there is an available slot for your instrument - please do not try to work this out yourself by looking at the other attendees' instruments.\n\n**Tunes this week (Sat 20 Dec)**\n\n* Blue bossa in Cm (warm up)\n\n(Joe Henderson) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUxv3AAaK_Y\n\n* Sandu in Eb\n\n(George Coleman) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nQILr_IA-Y\n\n* Footprints in Cm\n\n(Wayne Shorter) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgaIUqH0w6c\n\n* Moonglow in G\n\n(Dizzy Gillespie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaJqyezOo_s\n\nEveryone is encouraged to listen to a variety of recordings for each song, but please ensure you are familiar with the recording provided as a primary reference.\n\n**Tune preview - next novice session (Sat 27 Dec, 11am only)**\n\n* Tenor madness in Bb (warm up)\n\n(Rollins, Coltrane) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MkUvZUTFUc\n\n* Girl from Ipanema in F\n\n(Jazz Core) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGNSflh59KQ\n\n* Little Sunflower in Dm\n\n(Freddie Hubbard) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZBu0ARDGxs\n\n* Almost like being in love in Bb\n\n(Chad LB) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2DLnEhsimM\n\n**Preparing for the session**\n\nThe chordal form of each song follow the iReal Pro app as a common reference, or you can use sheet music from Real Books.\n\nResource for sheet music:\n\nhttps://www.seventhstring.com/fbindex.html\n\nhttp://therealbook.info/\n\nTry to immerse yourself in the songs by listening to recordings by different artists on youtube, spotify etc.\n\nLearn the head (main melody) of the song if you can. Don't hesitate to let the band know you can play it so you can start things off\n\n**Equipment**\n\nthere is a piano, drum kit (no cymbals or high hat clutch), bass and guitar amps, stands, and microphones. Drummers: please bring cymbals (none available for rental) and hi hat clutch\n\n**Vocalists**\n\nSingers are welcome, however some of the repertoire are likely not in the right key for your range. If you are an experienced singer, it may be possible to arrange sessions with repertoire catered to you - to explore this, please first come to the \"Afternoon Open Jams\" so I can get a sense of your singing.\n\n**Cancellation policy**\n\nPlease try to make it to any session you sign up to, as the jams are organised around a particular mix of instruments. However, if things do come up and you can no longer make a session, please send a message to the organiser, Xie, as soon as possible.\n\nPlaces are non-refundable if your plans change, but if you provide over 1 week notice it may be possible to carry over the fee for a future session.\n\n\\-\\-\\-\\-\\-\n\nany questions do get in touch!","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1764833018000","seoName":"novice-11-1pm-dec-20-vortex-upstairs","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-bicknacre/cate-artists-musicians/novice-11-1pm-dec-20-vortex-upstairs-6461862614899512/","localIds":"19","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"258ba3a9-b8da-4444-ab81-7192cbe0d1b4","sid":"fab6c923-d1ee-4b83-aeca-aea5cbfd5db4"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1764833016789,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"artists-musicians","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6505","location":"18 Exeter Way, London SE14 6LL, UK","infoId":"6461511114573112","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/7/4/9/highres_475482825.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Feedback session in New Cross (message GRAIG for location.)","content":"*Please ensure that you have READ THE SUBMISSIONS before attending the session.
