Hello All…Are there any JG aficionados in the Borders area that would be interested in getting together to try some jamming? I’m near Melrose and have been playing for about 18 months. I don’t profess to be very good but I practice most days and I have Zoom lessons with Richard Coles every couple of weeks. Would be great to meet up with anyone from absolute beginner and up who is prepared to give jamming or duets a go.

Unfortunately I’m in the same boat, jamming wise, but I’m in Stirling. Hope you get something sorted :+1:

I’ve had good luck using Meetup.com to find jams local to me. They aren’t JH students but several are geared towards beginners.

Thanks Moose, I’ll take a look at Meetup.com :slight_smile:

Did you have any joy on meetup? I’m in Edinburgh and in the same boat

Hi Neil…no luck for me. I’ve met up with 2 or 3 guys who were all much better than me which was good for me but frustrating for them! I didn’t get anything at all specifically from Meetup though. The contacts I made were through a fb group here in the Borders. Good luck in your search anyway. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi Paul

Looking at how old your original post was my response may be too late & things may have moved on. Still no harm in reaching out!

I’m near Lockerbie & still very much a beginner, working through Justin’s grade 2 course & music theory.

I’m away travelling at the moment but will be back in Scotland in February & could be interested in sharing the journey. BTW I’m a mature learner, a retirement project!

Hi Kev

Thanks for getting in touch. Certainly not too late although Apple Maps is showing about 61 miles to Kettleholm from where I am near Melrose so not quite round the corner. Very happy to meet up though when you’re back from your travels and we can see where it might take us. Perhaps you could message me on … when you’re ready. I’m also a retirement project by the way!

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul, I’d delete that phone number if I were you. You’ll have the whole world ringing you.
I don’t know whether it’s safe to send it by private message or not.
Richard @Richard_close2u will know.

HI David…yeah, I did wonder about that but I wasn’t aware there was any other way to connect with an individual on here. Anyway, now deleted so thanks for taking the time to warn me!
