We jammin'

As a part of an exhibition called "Open Road" at the Toilet Gallery in Kingston, I, along with any other artist/musicians at the university was invited to take part in a jam session, told to simply bring our instruments and some form of documentation (to be shown in the exhibition)...and that's it. Given that I play the cello, not exactly the most common musical instrument used for jam session I was a bit terrified, expecting to have to bring music, but actually it was incredibly relaxed and incredibly awesome! It went on for 3 hours, which seems hefty when you say it, but drinks and food were provided and despite the cold temperatures the atmosphere was really good, had some candles around the place and between the 3 guitars, a synthesiser, bongos, a ukulele, a violin, a cello and some singers we all had a lot of fun creating random bursts of music. The plan now is that we're all going to meet up again, and hopefully do a live performance at some point, I'll keep you posted on when that will be. So a big thanks to Kate Renwick for sorting it all out :) This video below is a taster from the session, sorry it's a bit dark - Enjoy!
