Every Saturday / £5 / 7 pm to 12 pm / Cash on the Door
A jam session where the goodness is in the detail, the vibe, the sharing, the empathy - our policy is that the loudest musician has to be hearing the detail of the quietest musician, for the best balance, the deepest flow..... we like to hear the vocalist's expression in all its fullness.
With a full PA, drum kit, bass and guitar amps, piano and mics, with congas and percussion and monitors and helpful sound crew, this session has built a solid reputation over the past couple of years, for exquisite and expressive jams.
Featuring spoken word, song and instrumental breaks with the house band alternating between The Jazzy Ron Funk Group every 1st Saturday, Vibe Machine every 2nd & 4th Saturday, Happy Garden every 3rd Saturday and a surprise band every 5th Saturday (if there is one).
Musicians change places, the vibe grows and grows...
All are welcome... Just bring your voices and your instruments and let's Jam!
Doors open at 5pm - Alongside The Record Shop - Vinylly Found
But the music starts at 7pm

The Scrap is a budding initiative designed to showcase bold and adventurous new writing from London’s theatre scene. Playwrights put forward their developing work, actors and directors join the fray, and together they workshop excerpts rapid-fire for your communal delectation.
It’s a tasting-platter of what’s happening on the scene, a celebration of innovative new voices in theatre and performance, and a chance to come together creatively to share ideas and passions.
If you’re a theatre artist, a theatre fanatic, or just someone who wants to see some cool new art, come and join us at The Others for a packed night of rough-and-ready performance goodness – plus some live music to spice things up.

Taking place on the second Sunday of each month, each night has a slightly different musical vibe but the same core theme of "watch the pros, then have a go yourself" - cheer on professional roboteers and then drive their robots in the arena, then witness some indie talent and have some stage time in the post-gig open mic/jam.
Doors open 17:30
Robot fighting 18:45
Live music 19:50 (3 acts)
Open mic/jam 22:00
Entry: £4 advance, £5 at venue, free after 21:45

So bring your instruments, share a story, make some magic, do your do... and sign up for the open mic

Essentially its an amalgamation of Games and Creativity hosted by the best venue in north London.
Doors open at 6pm
