Not The Usual Jam will occur on 6 December 2026 at Grow in Hackney Wick, London. This inclusive jam session is open to all musicians and is free to attend. Participants can explore various musical styles in a welcoming environment.
David (The Orbalist, Hackney Rhythm) hosts a jam that’s open, inclusive, and entirely pay-to-play free. This is a space where synths, sequencers, MPCs, and E-drums meet guitars, basses, keys, and acoustic drums.
The magic began when David met Alessandro Corda, a versatile musician, DJ, and producer. Sharing a passion for music and a vision for community-driven creativity, Alex became a key collaborator. From managing the stage to driving improvements behind the scenes, Alex has helped elevate the jam into something truly special.
Join us on the first Sunday of every month. Whether you're a seasoned performer or a newcomer, this is your space to explore. Free admission, a safe atmosphere, and a welcoming vibe make it the perfect spot for everyone—keyboard virtuosos, beatmakers, and vocal storytellers alike.
Our stage has seen everything: the raw vocals of new singers, the experimental loops of producers, and performances by talents like Charlie Stacey, Qoha, George The Poet, and more. Regulars like Alex Mike The Mic, Freddie Mpanga, Nico (MoorMoor), and others bring their creativity, celebrating progress and fostering growth.
The NTUJ session is a sandbox for sonic exploration where genres blur and magic happens. Bring your instruments, drum machines, unconventional gear, and curiosity.
