  • Performed by: James Ferguson

A jam session for anyone that has ever played an instrument or belted out a tune in the shower. Dust off your instrument, rev up your vocal chords and meet us at the pub to make some music. All people, all voices, all instruments, all mistakes welcome.

CLICK HERE for practise charts and tracks.

The event will start with a fun instrumental rehearsal of four songs, followed by a big singalong with everyone. Then the pro band will take over and play another four songs that you will have the charts for - you are welcome to play along or just get a wine at the bar. After that, the band will take requests until the last guest leaves.

We don't care if you are a professional opera singer or only started learning tuba last week. If you bring your enthusiasm and good humour, we'll provide the endorphins and the joy.

Hosted at the former site of Dizzy’s Jazz Club, we don't reckon there's a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon... do you?

About Harmoneasy

Musician and performer Bridget a'Beckett founded Harmoneasy in 2022 after she turned 43 and realised that she wanted more music and more friends in her life, preferably at the same time. Since then she has started a children's and a pro singers choir and now Hood Jam. She believes everyone deserves the joy that comes from making music, regardless of how 'good' they are at their instrument.

    Three performers face the camera, standing against a tan-coloured wallpaper background with geometric shapes. The central performer is a woman in a red lace dress, wearing a headpiece made of black and red roses, topped with thin black spikes. She has reddish hair, and is twirling one strand around the fingers of her right hand. The performer to her right stands just behind her shoulder. His body faces out at a 45 degree angle while he looks directly at the camera. He wears high-waisted black pants with a thick red band across his waist, and he is not wearing a shirt. On his face, he wears light makeup, black streaks below his eyes and red streaks above his eye and down the sides of his nose. The performer to the left wears black pants, no shirt, and black gloves with lacy cuffs and silver trim. One hand is raised to his mouth, and he bites a finger between his teeth. He wears dark eye makeup, black with pink highlights. All performers have a seductive look on their faces.
