Easy Access to After-parties Could Destroy Celebrity Culture. Do We Care?

The term ‘after-party’ suggests a high class club with expensive drinks and a very strict guest list. This is true of some places, but not Jamm. Here you can get into these exclusive parties for a mere £10 or less; the drinks may still be a bit pricey but that should not matter when you can mingle with your favourite musicians.

Many gigs that take place at Brixton Academy turn into an after-party at Jamm. This offers your average gig-goer the opportunity to see bands perform DJ sets in a very informal and intimate atmosphere. Admittedly Jamm could do with a revamp and a good wash but somehow the neglected, warehouse vibe adds to its rock and roll lifestyle.

Jamm is not only host to mainstream bands but also offers underground artists the chance to play, like the indie band Boy on the Roof. The members may look too young to buy alcohol but their sound is definitely one that could get away with a fake ID.

Jamm is the perfect place to visit if you are closet groupie, a student, or in most cases just someone who loves live music.
