Despite somewhat hairy weather, the stalwards of our expanding jammers community braved the elements to head down to the Bourne Beat one last time. There were 23 jammers and at least the same number of listeners. A total of 24 songs were sung, all different for a change, in 12 varying combinations of jammers.

Vocals & Guitar - Stan, Ben
Vocals & Harp - Alan
Guitar - Kacper, Ash, Pedro, Rory, Ian P, Rob K, Dan

Our thanks to everyone who has supported our jam at The Bourne Beat, and we look forward to continued success at Champions, on the 2nd and Last Mondays of every month, as we join the New Bournemouth Blues Club calender of events.

This Monday 16th November, the Blues Club has its Launch  Night with ERJA LYYTINEN and 2 support acts, Dave McKenzie and Riverside Blues Band. Doors 7pm - Tickets £5 (advance). Erja Lyytinen is currently selling out all over the country so don't miss out if you are in the Bournemouth area.

With Stan out of the country the jammers just had to manage without him. Helen got set up with the help of Laz and Tom, with only two panicky (PA related) phonecalls to Italy.  Zoe and Rob had kindly agreed to front the jam and help keep order.
So, at the appointed time, away we went for 3 hours of jamming from 24 jammers in 12 different line-ups and 24 not quite all different songs. At least an equal number of listeners were there too.
Not only did we  hear some great blues, but also a jazz interlude, a couple of drum solos, several unsuccessful attempts to get the jammers to play in the key of F (it's called F for a reason y'know!)  and three great sets from Papa George and the jammers - Ah well........while the cat's away.....
We look forward to having our leader back in the saddle for the next jam. It's just not the same without him.

Vocals - Zoe, Sue, Alice
Vocals & Guitar -  Tony, George
Guitar - Rob K, Pedro, Karl, Rory, Kacper, Ian P
Bass - Helen (far too stressed to play!), Nige, Roger, Albert, Steve, Ian
Drums - Gordon, Greg, Rob W, Marti, Jamie
Keys - David, Lee

Thanks to all who came along and played their part in the shenanigans.
Vids & Recordings up soon.

With some jammers back to school and others who sent a note from their mums with their excuses, we had a slightly lower turnout than last jam, 25 jammers in 12 different line-ups performed 24 songs. Jammers and  audience numbering some 50 or so in total. Unprecedented in the history of jamming, we managed to get through the evening without either Texas Flood or Crossroads being played.
Only managed to catch the first 2 line-ups on the recording gadget (won't be buying batteries from the infamous 99p Store in Lymington again) so plenty of vids to make up for it.

Vocals - Trevor
Vocals & Harp - Pete R
Vocals & Guitar - Stan, Yan, Jim, Tony.
Guitar - Pedro, Ian P, Ash, Rory, Tim W, Dean.
Bass - Helen, Albert, Nick B, Robin, Steve.
Drums - Gordon, Greg, Stephanie, Jamie.
Harp - Flavio, and a Man of Mystery whose name didn't go on the list.
Keys - David, Matt.

Thank to all who came along.....see you next jam!

Whether it was due to the recent spell of hot weather, or the phase of the moon, but this month's jammers seemed to be in particularly high spirits. They managed to pull themselves together sufficiently to frolic through 26 songs in 13 different line-ups. There were 25 jammers, including two sets of fathers and sons, and another 25 or so audience. 
With the jammers showing a distinct reluctance to bring the proceedings to a halt and go home, we finally pulled the plug at 11.30. 

Vocals - Zoe
Vocals & Guitar - Stan, Pedro
Vocals & Harp - Pete R
Guitar - Dan, Rory, John, Richard, Ian P, Ash, Rob K, Caspar
Bass - Helen, Andy, Roger, Robin, Albert
Drums - Gordon, Roger, John, Marti, Jamie
Sax - Richard, Alan
Harp - Ed the Fish
and a dancer!

It was great to see everyone, thanks to you all for coming along.
See you jammin'!

It was good to see old friends returning, and yet more new faces, at this month's jam. We revisited another 24 songs in 12 different line-ups (more or less).
Also, lots of info about the forthcoming gigs at Champions, such as  Albert Lee on the 17th June,  The Hamsters Hendrix Set on the 28th June, and, what clearly has caught the imagination of the diserning live music fan, The Ramonas on 25th June (described in the publicity material as an "All girl Ramones Tribute band - Girls in  skimpy clothing, leather, fishnet stockings with big boots rocking hard"). I can't think why they're so popular! Get your tickets now before they're sold out!
Check out www.myspace.com/championsvenue for more details of all the gigs coming up at Champions.

The jammers this month were:
Vocals & Guitar - Stan, Pedro,  Rob B, Dave Mc, Tony.
Vocals & Harp - Pete.
Guitar - Lee, Ash, Richard, Phil H, Tim W, Ian P, John.
Bass - Helen, Andy, Albert, Dave.
Drums - Gordon, Connor, John, Josh, Damian.
Keys - Stan tinkling the occasional ivory.

Thanks to all those who came along, and for the help lugging the gear up the steps.
Much appreciated. See you jammin'!

We sailed through the fifth Bourne Beat Blues Jam with a crew of 28 jammers, yet more new faces, and a cargo of at least 36 listeners. There were 12 different line-ups and 23 songs were played. We had some really excellent performances, particularly from the yoof, and a jolly old time was had by all. The vids will be put up at the weekend - albeit with a slight list to port.
Vocals & Guitar - Stan, Yan, Rob, Rich.
Vocals & Harp - Pete R.
Guitar -  Ian P, Ash, Richard, Tim, Phil H, Simon, Pedro, Caspar, Rob.
Bass - Helen, Melvyn, Andy, Nick B, Dave, Albert, Stuee.
Drums - Stuee (again), Marti, Gordon, Damian, Paul.
Harp - Tim, Don.
Keyboards - John.
Don't forget to put the jam dates in your diary - the new Champions Blues Jam on Tuesday 26th May (not at The Blue Boar as it says in Livewire Gig Guide, we moved the jam after it went to print) and the next Bourne Beat Jam on Wednesday 10th June.
Thanks to all who took part and we'll see you jammin'!!

With several of our "old hands" sending in a note from their mums saying they wouldn't be able to make it to the jam, we were a little concerned that the turnout might be low. There was also the footy on the telly, and Eric Sardinas at The Brook to compete with. However, we ended up with more than 60 people, 27 of whom were jammers. There were 12 line-ups, playing 24 songs. Everyone was enjoying it so much we forgot to stop at 11 and eventually realised we'd over-run. There were several interesting moments, but few matched the climactic, bordering on suicidal, leap performed by Rear Admiral Ian Peterson at the end of It's all over now - see video!!

The second Bourne Beat Blues jam was attended by 50 or so people, 30 of whom were jammers. A few snuck in without stumping up which makes the head count a bit flexible.

Vox and Harp: Hugh
Guitar: Pete, Ash, Ian P, Andy TP, Tim W, Scott.
Bass: Helen, Nick B, Dave S, Roger.

We had 12 different line-ups, playing 23 songs - the same number as last time actually. We're pretty sure that everyone who stayed till the bitter end got 2 goes, some even got 3! If anyone  has photos please let us know as the official photographer had a technical hitch.
Thanks to Rob W for the cymbals, Dave for bringing his posh keyboard, and Andy TP for the extra amps, and Dennis for the Harp amp. Also thank you to those who stayed on at the end who help pack up - Dennis, Gordon, Dean.
