We’ve been a little quiet advertising The Friends of Ham Instrumental Jazz evenings. The reason being it’s almost been too successful with people booking months in advance!
When you come you know why! We have some of the finest northern musicians on the scene and we’ve had some fantastic feedback from them too. All of whom want to return!
It’s got such a great energy and vibe! The FOH is definitely the place to be every mid month Wednesday!!!
Here are some of the wonderful artists who have passed through the doors:
Jamil Sheriff, Sam Quintana, Steve Hanley, Will Howard with their 4in1 project. Jason Scott Trio with Jason Jason C Scott, Adrian Knowles, Jamie Taylor. Dean Stockdale Trio with Dean Stockdale, Ben Crosland, Dave Tyas. Will Howard Trio, with Will Howard, Elliot Roffe, Steve Hanley.

TONIGHT: The Jeff Hewer Trio. Sold out in the back room. But seats in the front bar.
