 What is
the Northfield Breakfast Jam?

The Northfield Breakfast Jam is a group for adults that meets regularly to rehearse and perform rock music in Northfield, Birmingham.

Rehearsals are led by a bandleader with the use of lead sheets and playing by ear so anyone with any instrument or all singers can get involved. We also provide breakfast snacks, teas and coffees during the session.

What music
will we play?

We’ll look at a range of rock music from the 50’s to today so there is something for everyone. Connect with the music of your favourite artists by learning how to play or sing their music.

Some artists include:
The Rolling Stones, U2, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Foo Fighters, AC/DC, The Beatles, Green Day, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Petty The Sex Pistols, Oasis, Stone Roses, Primal Scream, Fleetwood Mac...

Who can
join?

We welcome any instrumentalist or singer, whatever your ability, age, gender… This group is ideally suited for those who don’t read traditional music notation or like to learn aurally (by ear) but will also be a great place for those who want to improve their improvising and playing by ear if they are classically trained.
