ONLINE SESSION?
Join Jules and I in our weekly online old time session. We did a trial run of the session on the 24th March 2020 at the start of our Lockdown during the Covid pandemic and the session proved popular that we keep running them!
Tuesdays 8pm UK time.
Sundays Slow Jam 8pm UK time
at both sessions, Zoom ‘doors’ open for greetings 7.30pm.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Join us on Zoom or YouTube (details below). Plug your device into some louder speakers while you are watching us, go get your instrument and join us!
We won’t be able to hear you like on Zoom but you will see and hear us and you’ll be playing with us..
Latency?
Isn’t it awkward?
Won’t I hear you?
If you don’t want to be on camera in the Slow Jam, visit YouTube instead.
WE ARE ON “ZOOM!”
Zoom is like Skype but is more interactive and you can see up to 49 players simultaneously depending on the device you are using.
Zoom on phones you can see 4 players and on larger tablets you can see more by swiping right to left. On computers you can use ‘Gallery’ view to see up to 25-49 people. See the photo above of how Zoom looks.

NEW VISITORS & HANG OUT TIME
It is recommended that new visitors sign in to Zoom early at 7.30pm UK time before we start tunes. This is a great way to meet and introduce ourselves and each other. It can be overwhelming joining Zoom with strangers, but as a community we have learnt to make sure everyone is welcome so that this digital video communication is easier for everyone. During this half an hour, we can also help with any tech questions you might have.
After the session we leave Zoom running for a catch up and hang out or questions. We have people who use our session to meet old friends, or make new ones. It was a chance to meet safely during the Covid pandemic.
Don’t forget there are chat platforms on Zoom where I will see your messages. Please talk to us live in chat so that we know you are there and also please do ask us for tune requests!
SLOW JAMS
Sunday’s slow jams does most of the time involve Jules on guitar and he will call out the chords as we go.
The following Tuesday up to speed jams are in the same key as the Slow Jams for a chance to work on them.
Slow Jams are the same time 8pm UK time every Sunday and 7.30pm Zoom doors open for new visitors.
