Musicians: Want to take part in a Guinness world Record Attempt?
Be part of a Guinness Book of Records attempt!
Get on a recording with some of the greats and up-and-comers of Brisbane music, including Ed Kuepper, The Smokestack Orchestra, The Heroes, Tara Simmons and Asa Broomhall, and help make music history at the QUT Big Jam.
There’s still time for musicians to get their names added to the line up, which also features Mike Howlett, the bassist from cult band Gong and Grammy-winning producer who now heads QUT’s music program. The jam also features John Willsteed, former member of the Go-Betweens, The Apartments, Disgraceland, and The Riptides.
Organised by QUT’s Independent Music Project and supported by Ellaways Music, the 150-hour Big Jam will include local musicians from the 1950s to today. The jam also features regular house bands and professional recording teams in the world record attempt for longest continuous recording session with multiple artists, possibly the world’s longest jam session.
Beginning early on Monday August 31, musicians will tag-team for just over six days at the new QUT recording studio in Doggett Street before being transported in an open top vehicle with portable recording equipment to the Botanic Gardens River Stage for the finale on Sunday September 6.
The jam will conclude with massive 12 bar blues in G, before local acts The Gin Club and Intercooler take the stage in support of The Cat Empire at the free QUT and BCC organised concert at the River Stage for Brisbane 150 Come Celebrate.
Room is still available on The Big Jam timetable, but be quick. To participate, please register at email or phone Carly Dickenson on 3852 5249 cl.dickenson@qut.edu.au.
