“It was the best morning ever of my life!” Young FamJam participant

In 2025 we launched FamJam, our pilot project of open-access accessible music sessions at Stockroom, the newly opened community space in Stockport. We have loved making music with those who have attended, especially with those who have been attending the sessions regularly. Check our Eventbrite page for the next FamJam sessions.

We can’t wait to see what 2026 brings! Thank you for your ongoing support and we wish you all the best for the new year.
