Music jam at Trall
First time at one of these? Here's what it's like.
This came together the night before, so it is very short notice and it will probably be a small room. That is fine for this kind of evening.
Who's hosting
Look for them when you get there.
There is a music jam at Trall tonight, Thursday the 20th, from 20:00, and you can just drop by.
This came together last night, so it is very last minute. Luis, who runs Trall, wants to get jam nights going on Thursdays, and he had tonight set aside anyway, so we said yes.
What it actually is
Everyone gets to put music on. That is the whole thing.
Their sound system is properly good, better than a bar needs to be, so what you pick actually sounds like something instead of coming out of a phone on a table.
Bring a playlist if you have one, or just pick songs as you go, or put nothing on at all and listen to what everyone else is playing. All three are fine.
You do not need to know anything about music for this. Playing one song you love in a room where people are actually listening is a surprisingly good way to end up talking to someone.
Just come whenever
We start at 20:00. The bar itself opens at 19:00, so come earlier and have a drink first if you want.
Come at 20, come at 21, stay ten minutes or stay all evening. There is nothing to sign up for and no plan you are breaking by leaving early.
Say if you are coming, mostly so I know I am not sitting there on my own, haha.
Who is welcome
Anyone who likes music. You do not need to play anything and you do not need to know anything about it.
Come alone if you want, most people do.
We will speak a mix of English and Norwegian.
