Audio Archive - The Jam Central Sessions

The jams featured on this page are some of the highlights from two full evenings that were properly recorded in CD quality during the Jam Central heyday at Grand Central. They feature some of the most creative and downright funky playing that it has been our pleasure to host and be involved in.

Big respect here to the mighty Vogue Gyrator, who's drummer Rupert Mills was a stalwart of these Jam Central sessions. Rupert's incredible drumming is the star attraction on these hi-fi audio recordings, while Vogue's bassist Andre Fry and their guitarist Richard Macnamara also both made virtuoso guest appearances during those sessions.

Best enjoyed played LOUD through a good stereo... go on, turn it up!
