I went to the second funkydory jam last night (I missed the first because I did not know they had started one). This jam session happens every other Wednesday at the Grove Tavern in Morden.
I was looking forward to seeing funkydory, as I had not seen them before. This band was formed by Jules Fothergill and Lorna Reilly of Roadhouse; together with guitarist Marc Le Guerrannic, drummer Hayden Doyle, and Fox on bass. I already knew that Jules was a brilliant guitarist and that Lorna was a fantastic singer (although she did not really get to use her voice properly in Roadhouse) so I was sure that the band would be fantastic. I was not disappointed. It was a little difficult to assess them properly as a band when only four or five songs were played, but what I heard I certainly liked a lot.
The jam itself was absolutely brilliant. There some amazing singers in (which makes a pleasant change) and some fantastic musicians. I do not know any of the names, but of particular note was a woman (who I think was called Sam) who had an absolutely blistering voice (I kept expecting the glasses to break) and a man who was not only a really good guitarist but who had an absolutely fantastic singing voice somewhat reminiscent of Little Richard.
All in all it was an exceptional night and I highly recommend anyone to go to see this jam.
