I have started building a database of weekly jams. I need your help
building this list. If you run a jam, or know someone who does, please
contact me. There is no
charge for listing here.
The criteria to be listed is pretty simple. The jam should be a regular
weekly event, it should be hosted by a local band or performer and it
should be open to all musicians. The information I need is;
