Jamie's Jam Sesh

Jamie's Jam Sesh is back in Weymouth, and this time it's a proper run rather than a one-off. The first session is on Monday 16 November at The Black Dog on St Mary's Street, and it doesn't stop there — there are five more to follow on 23 and 30 November, and 7, 14 and 21 December. That's six Mondays in a row, running from mid-November right through to the third week of December.

If you've never been, the format is as straightforward as the name suggests. It's a jam session, which means it's built around people playing together in the moment rather than a set list of songs played from start to finish. It's the kind of night where the music comes from whoever turns up on the evening, and because it's a jam, it's as much about the playing as it is about the listening.

Having it run every Monday for six weeks changes the feel of it, too. Instead of a single date to make, it becomes a regular thing you can drop into whenever suits you. If you're playing, it gives you a few different nights to get involved; if you're just there for the music, you can pick and choose which ones to catch. With the dates stretching across November and into December, it's a good way to keep a bit of live music in the calendar as the nights draw in.

Every session starts at 8:00 pm at The Black Dog, St Mary's Street, Weymouth. The full run is 16, 23 and 30 November, and 7, 14 and 21 December 2026.
