Welcome to The Folkestone Jam, a space for musicians and singers to connect, collaborate, and create.

The night flows naturally, blending structured performances with spontaneous jams. It’s a chance to meet fellow musicians, try something new, and enjoy making music together in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
Bring your instrument, your voice, or just come along to enjoy the music.

Live Music: Django Chutney
2025-03-14 19:00 - 23:00
Brighton based gypsy-jazz trio Django Chutney have been blowing away audiences since October 2021. A chance meeting of great minds and kindred spirits led to an instantaneous connection and a first gig that went on for over 6 hours (and only finished because it was closing time at the bar!)
An infectious love of performing – whether its jazz, blues, folk or Black Sabbath – has helped propel this trio into a non-stop run of shows around the festivals, pubs and jazz clubs of the UK.
Their combination of 3 part vocal harmonies, huge repertoire that draws from so many eras and genres of the 20th century, virtuosic guitar show-offery, and ridiculous sense of fun and musical adventure has helped them secure fans not only from the sometimes staid jazz-world, but from across the spectrum – all ages, and all musical tastes will find something to enjoy in Django Chutneys hugely entertaining and energetic performances.
Friday 14th March
Doors at 7pm. Support TBA.
