Hot Hob jam 03-09-24

A little quieter this week, but still 12 jammers. A few of our regulars are having a late holiday.

Suprised to see all the CTM lights have now been removed from the stage.
However there were 4 original spotlights working and although two were not white the stage was reasonable well lite.
So thing are on the up and maybe all will be working next week.

Much better vocally this week with Jimmy Gayner, Nick Nichols and Andrew Edmonds.
Big Hot Hob welcome to a new guitarist Jim, hope to see him return soon.

Roll of honour:-

Guitar. Andrew Edmonds , Matt Hunt, John Edmonds, Peter Rainbow, Jim, Jimmy Gayner. Tony Myers.

Hot Hob jam 20-08-24

Another great night at the Essex Arms with 14 jammers and a good audience.
Still only one stage light, but Jordan (manager) has arranged a lighting engineer to visit soon to sort out the stage lighting.
A large advertising screen has appeared on the wall next to the stage which although a great idea in the bar, became very annoying during the jam once the lights had been dimmed.
My Deluxe amp cover soon sorted out the problem LOL

Couple of jammers we hadn't seen for quiet a while. Steve C , who was a regular years ago at the Leyton jam.
Also Aaron Randall who was a regular jammer many years ago in his youth.
Nice to see both Clive Dimmock and Debra Westowski allowing all sets to have a sax player.

The only disappointment was the lack of vocalists , only Andrew Edmonds this week.

Roll of honour:-

Guitar. Andrew Edmonds , Matt Hunt, Aaron Randall, Steve C, John Edmonds
Bass. Dave Taylor, Ralph
Drums. Tony Coleman, Gianni , Michael Connelly

Hot Hob jam 20-08-24

Arrived to a totally dark unlit stage.
No Danny so tried to plug in the lone spotlight but it didn't work.
Even with the hall lights on it was impossible to see on stage.
As a last resort we pressed every button on the lighting control panel and thankfully one spotlight came on.
Still very dark but no other options.
We have taken a few photos, but the back of the stage was too dark for mobile phone photos.

Thankfully the rest of the evening went well, with four vocalist this week.
Great to see Neil (guitar) at the jam after a long absence.
Also Simon Durham, Lee Hodgson & Wills.

Hot Hob jam 13-08-24

A jam in almost total darkness on stage.
Yet another spotlight broke, so we only had one spotlight to alluminate the entire stage.
Consequently no photos until the stage lighting is fixed.
I have videoed but quality will be compromised.

Other than that we had another good night, although with a slightly smaller audience than of late.
Thankfully the volume was lower this week after a few very loud weeks. Thanks ....

Nice to see James Hughes popping in to see us.

With our leader Andy Lomath on holiday I was a bit concerned about how many drummers & vocalists we would get as I had to run the jam single handed.
My fears were unfounded as thankfully we got 4 drummers and 4 vocalists.
Thanks to Tony Coleman for depping for Andy, shame we couldn't get him back up at the end but his drums had been played by lefty Paul, and it would have taken ages set them up.

Delighted to welcome Rebecca Turner and Michael Goulding who performed a great set with Dallas & Dave.
I was knocked over when Paul Booth walked through the door. I hadn't seen Paul since pre Covid.
Paul used to guest regularly at the Hob on guitar, but now has turned his talents to drumming.

Also delighted to welcome Dallas who travelled all the way from Brighton to be with us.

Bass. Dave Taylor, Josh Graham

Hot Hob jam 30-07-24

Very good crowd this week which was encouraging, plus 13 jammers.
What a difference a week makes. Last week only 1 bassists & 2 drummers, this week 3 bassists and 5 drummers !!
Unfortunately, we were not so lucky in the vocalist department , Andrew being our only vocalists.
Not sure what happened to Stevie Holt as he was nowhere to be seen when he was called up for the fourth band ?

Very pleased to see Graham Sears back at the jam and Steve Grant on bass.
Steve is also a very accomplished drummers but we couldn't give him a drum set as we already had 4 drummers.

I had a long chat to Jordon our new pub manager about the stage lighting and I am hopeful something will be done to improve them.

Another great night at the Hot Hob with 14 jammers and a sizeable audience.
Great to see Izzy Buholzer accopanied by Jevon Ellis.
Izzy was on his yearly trip to the UK from the US and as usual popped in to treat us to some great blues.
Pleased we had time to get him up with the house band to finish the evening.

Also nice to see two sax players this week, Debra Westowski and Clive Dimmock.

I learnt that Jordon our new manager has just undergone knee surgery so we all wish him a speedy recovery.

With Wimbeldon & footy finished we were back to our normal crowd with 12 jammers & a large audience.
With Andrew not expected to arrive until later I was please to see vocalists Conrad De Lanni and Nick Nichols.
Also good to see Tony O'Brien back after a hectic 18 days at Wimbeldon taking his superb photos.
Just sad that CTM have still not repaired the stage lights for him.
