CamJam is a welcoming and much-loved jazz jam session that has been running for over 20 years, bringing together musicians and jazz lovers from across Cambridge and beyond.

Every Tuesday evening, the doors open at 7.30pm and the music runs until 10.15pm. A friendly house band kicks things off, after which players and singers are invited to take turns sitting in. Whether you’re an experienced performer or just finding your feet, all abilities are welcome.

Not a player? No problem — come along to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy some great live jazz, and relax with a drink among fellow music lovers.

Liz is a renowned local artist who has exhibited in London, Ipswich and Cambridge.  Her career began as an engineer and this is reflected in some of her art. Latterly, she has delighted in the lighter side of life, her paintings full of action and humour. Street life and celebrations, musicians, churches, factories, underwater swimmers, Morris men and boat crews all have their place in her repertoire.  

See https://www.lizmoon.co.uk/

She describes her work as "An exploration of people on action in a precariously balanced world. People leap or lean into a space that bends and sways around them; their energy and humour involve and invigorate. This is no thoughtless escape. A celebration of entertaining possibilities of life in the face of darker uncertainties to come."

There are several of her larger works for sale, also prints, and who could resist a postcard! Come and have a look - refreshments provided.

Recently celebrating his 80th birthday, he’s received numerous awards, including an Honorary Parliamentary Jazz Award in 2017. A master of touch, tone and swing he has long been hailed as “a true giant of British jazz guitar,” with universal praise for his “unmistakable voice” and “effortless fluency.”
