The Night
Jazz.Coop is the community co-operative behind The Globe on Railway Street — the first co-op in the UK to own its own music venue and education centre — and its Sunday afternoon jam sessions are the open door for players in Newcastle.
The sessions
Two run on alternating Sundays. Am Jam takes the 2nd Sunday of each month, 2-5pm, and is aimed squarely at amateur jazz musicians who haven't done much jamming — turn up and play, or just sit and listen. More Jam takes the 4th Sunday of each month, 2-5pm, for more experienced players, though you needn't be a professional. All instrumentalists and vocalists are welcome at both.
If ukuleles are more your thing, Ukes at The Globe usually lands on the 2nd Sunday too, 1:30-4:30pm, with informal jamming alongside local uke bands.
Sign-up process
No tickets and no list — walk in and put yourself forward on the day.
Cost
Admission is free, and the venue runs on donations, so drop something in the bucket.
Getting there
11 Railway Street, Newcastle upon Tyne NE4 7AD, a short walk from Central Station.
The venue
A community-owned jazz venue and education centre, ten years at The Globe. Midweek there's also a folk jam each Tuesday 9-11pm during learning terms, and Take it to the Bridge each Wednesday 7:30-10:30pm.
