Youth Group Jam session

This session is a fabulous opportunity for young musicians (late teens to early twenties), to join a youth jam band to play in a concert for about an hour, 10:30 till 11:30 in the main marquee on Sandpit field. It’s open to all players on any instrument. There will be parts for everyone no matter what level they can play at. It will be a fun event and a chance to play on stage to an audience.

If you’re a young musician, please keep reading. If you’re unlucky that you’re too old, but know some young musicians please send them these details.

If you're interested, fill this in.

It’s free, it’s fun and a great opportunity to play to a live audience.
