Ruby’s Jazz Jam

01/06/2026

📣 A quick update from us…📣

Unfortunately, Ruby's Jazz Jam will no longer be going ahead at this time.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our launch night, whether you came along to play or listen. We had a great evening and really feel the event does have room to grow.

Whilst it's disappointing not to continue them at this time, I’m incredibly grateful for all the support it received and hope to bring the concept back in the future.

Thank you again and keep supporting live music!!
