Brighton Christmas Jam

Addy_P warms up his hands to put finger to keyboard...

Jinx	Twas a cold winters morn, on 18th December 2004, and some beatboxers were coming together for a Christmas jam....

First at the train station was Addy_P and Jinx. They waited around for the others to arrive for a while, then came Vigilante. This was useful as he was the one who would recognise some of the others. Then Fresh Bref arrived. This was everyone so we headed off down to the pavilion...

Bevis and Mongrel

Once we got there, we walked about trying to find somewhere to jam. We debated the benefits of a park bench, standing by a fence, and even competing with a native busker. Eventually we settled down in the middle of a grassy area and the jamming began. More people turned up as time went on, including Bevis, and a couple of Vigi's friends...

The jamming was good, but the wind didn't help us hear each other, so we moved on, after stopping for lunch first! Then we headed on down to the seafront to test out a few areas around there, finally settling in a nice underpass with tonnes of echo, a little too much even. But still, a jam had to be done down there. The reverb was interesting to say the least, although it was also like a wind tunnel, which was really quite chilly. After a while of jamming in there, with some recordings attempted, I had to leave, but a good day was had by all as far as I know.
