Forming a musical "collective" -

Hey,

My name is Marie and I would like to form a get-together/collective-type thingy for musicians to meet each other and jam together and, if you meet someone you gel with, then all the better!

It wouldn’t quite be a free-for-all. That would be very noisy. Instead, people could take it in turns to perform songs, probably covers starting off and the emphasis would very much be on collaboration, moreso than your usual open mics. Obviously, if you meet folk who would like to work on your original material, that’s brilliant and probably the main point of the whole thing - just ye might need to rehearse a bit separately first, depends on how complicated the songs are and how skilled yiz are

I’m planning to host it on Sunday afternoons from 3pm to 6pm upstairs in JW Sweetmans (used to be Messers Maguire). It’s a nice space and it’s a handy location (and it’s free).

So, if you would like to come along, I am organising the first one for Sunday, 31st January. Although, I won’t book the space until I’ve heard from at least a few people who are interested so please get in touch. And, if you have friends who would like to come along and listen, that’s also cool, the more the merrier!

Ok, thanks for reading, hope to hear from you

Marie

Ps. In case anyone’s wondering, there won’t be a drumkit, but feel free to bring bongos, cajons, or anything else that rocks your boat.
