An event full of live music, a jam, and expert education for the Edinburgh community to come together, learn and support each other.

Edinburgh Jam Group are very excited to be hosting our biggest event yet at The Biscuit Factory in Leith. We will be putting focus on World Mental Health Day by bringing the music community from Edinburgh and the Lothians together to learn, entertain and support.

Starting off the evening will be a panel of experts to give an insight into mental health, music and support opportunities. After the panel is finished, we'll have a short q & a for anyone curious or wanting further details. This will give people the opportunity to learn, find avenues they didn't know were available and open doors for people in a physical setting.

Secondly, we will have a music jam/networking event. Looking for a new band? Looking for a new member to an existing band? Or just want to meet some new musicians and play some music? This is the place for you. Big cities can be a lonely place and we want these events to be a welcoming space encouraging interactions between new people finding common ground.

Finally we'll be hosting three amazing local bands and a DJ portion to showcase the incredible talent we have on our doorstep in Edinburgh and the Lothians. Come along, learn some new thing, meet some new people and come see your next favourite band.
