    JAM JAH Sessions - Monday Night Roots

    
    Every Monday night without fail since 2001, South Brum's hardest working reggae collective plays a strictly vinyl selection of roots, dancehall, and one drop from across time and continents, through the Bull's Head's heavyweight sound system, featuring guest MCs from the Friendly Fire camp.

    With weekly drinks promos and the tuffest outlaw sounds, Jam Jah Mondays is Birmingham's longest lasting and most inclusive reggae night, the essential linkup to end the weekend or start the week.
    
    Exclusive tunes, inclusive crowd!
