All levels of ability and experience are welcome & rewarded
No need to book just turn up

The current session format is:

  • A series of small group improvisations. Duration 5 -10 minutes each.

  • There is some conversation & discussion between the pieces.

  • There is a social break of 15 minutes at the midway point.

  • The starting point is that there are no workshop type strategies or games, scores or contemporary compositions. The musicians play free improvisation in music in their own time

  • The above having been said, the January 15th 2019 session featured the workshop piece `step in step out` for more information, click here

  • The session content may vary to reflect the different interests & histories of those present in the room
