I'm curious to know the times and days of the jam sessions where other people live to compare them to here in Barcelona.
Are they during the night or on weekends and what time do they usually start and end? When does the host band go on and the actual jam session start?
If you are not a full-time player and work a day job, do you go to jams during the week if they start late? How does that work out for you in terms of sleep, health and personal/family life?

In this city the jam sessions are mostly during the week and mostly start late. Jams on Friday and Saturday nights are naturally rare as those are gig nights.
The blues jam I went to for 3 years (which is no more) and the new one I've been going to since December are on Thursday nights once a month and the host band usually kicks off at 10:30. So the jam doesn't get underway until 11:15 at the earliest and runs until almost 2 a.m.
There currently are also blues jams at other clubs on Tues (one at 7:45 and the other at 10:30), Wed (10:30) and Sunday (6:30 and 11:00).
As to jazz jam sessions, currently there is one on Sunday at 10, one on Monday at 8 and one on Wed at 7:45.

Is this the norm in your city? Do they start earlier? Are they also on weekends?
Please share the situation where you reside.
Thanks
