🎷 The Jam at the Niamos 🎺
"Manchester’s answer to the Buena Vista Social Club"
Every week, something magical happens in the heart of Hulme.
At The Jam at the Niamos, musicians from all corners of Manchester gather under one legendary roof to create a night of music that’s never the same twice — and never forgotten. No egos, no headliners, just pure musical alchemy. One moment you're hearing soul-soaked sax, the next it's Afrobeat, punk poetry, reggae licks or jazz that cuts deep.
It’s a free show — an open jam — but not just any jam. This is Manchester’s fiercest, freest, most iconic music night. Competition for the stage is intense, because this isn’t just a jam: it’s a chance to play on the same stage once graced by Nina Simone, The Beatles, and countless other legends who’ve felt the Niamos floorboards tremble under their feet.
Every week, the line-up shifts. The vibe mutates. The spark ignites.
You were either there… or you weren’t.
Like an unstruck match — it burns bright, then it’s gone.
So get down early. Bring your instrument. Bring your voice. Or just bring your ears and your soul.
Support the Niamos. Support the music. Support the magic.
The Jam at the Niamos — every week unforgettable.
Be part of it. Or hear about it after.
