Runs on the last Sunday of the month, from 16:00. Mama Liz's is a live music bar on North Street in Stamford, PE9, about 14 miles north west of Peterborough and inside the PE postcode area; the Peterborough directory already carries Stamford Arts Centre on the same basis. Its Back Lounge took over the monthly free jazz jam with the Jay Stebb Jazz Quartet in July 2026, on the last Sunday of the month from 4pm, where anyone can get up and play or sing with the house trio. The venue's separate Voodoo Lounge open mic was recorded as defunct in August 2026, so this jam is the live open-floor night there.
