That’s practically down the road in this genre!

I’d consider attending one or two as you may well meet people who live a bit closer to you. They’re currently posting on the Hot Club of Leicester Facebook page so sign up to that for updates.

Also, the jam takes place on a boat!

Thanks all for your informative, practical and amusing replies!

I would say if you can find someone else playing GJ within 1 and a half hours distance you should at least check them out.

I commuted 1 and a half hours weekly to GJ jams in Lisbon this summer and it was well worth it.

Found this short but fascinating little piece of footage of Marco Roccia in the Clifford Essex shop in Soho;

The whole video is great but the Roccia footage starts at around 09:20

Enjoy!

Won't play outside of UK, bummer. Suppose one could use one of the VPN services...

I've not been successful using my normally faithful VPN app.

Damn the British Film Institute!

For those interested I found a legible copy of an Obituary for Marco Roccia from 'Guitar International' Sep 1987.

I'd certainly have liked an hour or two with him to listen to his stories - and ask him about my guitar!
