Ema Rose and Timothy Folkema took to the square with guitars and drums to encourage others to let their artistic side out. A jam session held in Civic Square was inspired by a group of residents wanting to bring Hamilton's underground arts community to the surface. They called the session 'The Bass of the Mountain' and took to the square with guitars and drums to encourage others to let their artistic side out. The historic-era Hamilton house had been a hub of art, music and culture for decades and was where ideas like the Fringe Festival and the McGillicuddy Serious Party, a satirical political party, were dreamed up. Hamilton City Council's city growth general manager Jen Baird said at this stage they had not received any new information on the property.
