The Jam Jar

Small, close-up venue in Bristol for folk, world and intimate gigs. Regular jam nights and open-stage sessions where local players plug in. Booker nights bring artists like Rocky Dawuni, King Ayisoba and La Perla. Frequent album launches and curated world shows, often seated and friendly. Easy spot to catch new discoveries and unplugged sets up close.

The Jam Jar is a compact live room in Bristol that leans towards folk, acoustic sets and global sounds. The programme mixes headline showcases with weekly jams and open mic-style nights. Recent and upcoming bills include Rocky Dawuni, King Ayisoba, Benin International Musical and Ustad Noor Bakhsh, plus local album launch shows. Expect an informal, community-driven vibe where artists and audience are close. Capacity is small so nights feel personal and lo-fi rather than theatrical. Good for anyone who likes to discover roots, world and singer-songwriter music in a relaxed setting.
