In partnership with BMusic, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire is jumping into the Free Jazz Friday schedule to keep a weekly format going for you. Same times, still great music, still free admission, just different venue.

Enjoy Eastside Jazz Club at RBC and hear new up and coming talent from the renowned RBC Jazz Department, now already in its seventh year of programming great jazz at this amazing bespoke venue.

This gig is an annual fixture where the audience gets a sneak preview of the three International Exchange Quintets that are playing at Cheltenham Jazz Festival the next day at the Parabola Arts Centre. This has become an important gig for the Festival and for RBC Jazz students: three quintets of Birmingham, Siena and Hamburg students are playing together for the first time and often make enduring friendships and musical collaborations through this project.

Siena Jazz in Italy and the Hamburg Conservatoire in northern Germany remain significant European partners for RBC who have reciprocated with other exciting project for the students over several years. 

Please be advised that early booking is essential to avoid disappointment due to a limited capacity in Eastside Jazz Club.
