Edinburgh Jam Group is a registered Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) running out of a fully equipped, modern studio at Unit 2, 2 Harvest Road, Newbridge (EH28 8AN) — on the western edge of Edinburgh rather than the city centre. The state-of-the-art space is available for hire seven days a week for band rehearsals, practice, audio and video recording, live streaming and photography, and is fully wheelchair accessible with kerbside parking. As well as studio hire, the charity runs weekly jams and open-mic sessions from the studio plus regular special open-stage events at venues around town, making it a genuine grassroots hub for Edinburgh musicians of all levels to play, learn and collaborate.
