Stan's Blues Jamboree  
March 2020

Stan's Blues Jamboree had an exhilarating afternoon  on Saturday 7th March 2020 where 54 individual musicians performed during the 6 hour event. Our thanks to the Jammers, the Showcase Bands: The Paprika Blues Band, Groove Bakers &  Haney's Big House for their performances and the audience for their continued support. Thanks to Elmo and Swanage RBL, our friends for helping us with the gear.... and, of course, to Steve  for organising the whole weekend.

For anyone not quite sure what was going on....The blues jams are unrehearsed improvisations over the 12 blues structure, and its variations, performed by musicians who may not have met each other before. Some musicians will have played together at local blues jams, or at previous festival jams. Some may be in bands together. The line-ups for the jams are  put together by the organisers and the jammers sort out what they are going to perform within the 12 bar blues structure. Not knowing quite how any song is going to turn out is all part of the fun!

The Showcase Bands are pre-booked  and (hopefully) rehearsed performances  from bands across the country.

 Ripping, or copying, our videos

We video the jams and post the performances on Youtube and our website so that jammers and friends can enjoy them.  If a jammer requests that a video be taken down from Youtube we can do this. This forms part of the trust between us and the jammers.
We are happy for our videos to be shared on Facebook or other platforms in their original format.
However, to rip a video is plain bad manners and shows a lack of integrity.
If we discover that someone has ripped one of our videos and reposted it themselves, 
we will take steps to have it removed.
Anyone found ripping our videos repeatedly will not be featured in our jam videos.
