A performer-dedicated circle for creators to share art, collaborate, and find their ground. ⭕️ All levels welcome.
The Jam: The Circle Session ⭕️
A Space Made for Performers 🍓
The Heart of the Circle ❤️
The Circle Session is where the art breathes. It's a dedicated space for songwriters 🎸, poets 📖, comedians 🎤, and storytellers 🗣️ to find their ground, test their craft, and connect.
We all sit in a circle, removing the barrier between "performer" and "audience." It's a collaborative laboratory 🧪 — a new chord progression might meet a spoken-word verse, or a storyteller finds the perfect rhythm.
Practice. Share. Connect. ✨
This is a safe space for all levels. Whether you're a seasoned pro or sharing your work for the first time, you're among peers. We focus on:
- The Craft: A low-pressure room to test rough drafts and work out new material. 🛠️
- The Collaboration: Exchange chords, ideas, and feedback to help each other grow. 🤝
- The Rhythm: We provide shakers 🪇 for anyone who wants to join in and feel the vibe.
- The Social: We don't just stay in the room — we organise regular nights out 🍻 so the friendships made in the circle continue outside of it. 🕺
Technical Setup ⚡️
We provide the essentials so you can focus on the performance:
- PA System: 3 channels available if a plug-in is required.
- Mics & Gear: Microphones, cables, and a sheet stand with a light provided. 🎼
- Keyboard: Available on request only — message us in advance if you need one. 🎹
- Amps: Bass players are welcome to bring a bass amp. 🎸🔊
- Instruments: We don't provide guitars — please bring your own primary instrument.
