Music
Community studios, open jams, collectives: the local scene is more accessible than it looks.
Where to start
Start where no one asks for a CV: open mics, park jams, community centre workshops. Several public libraries even lend instruments and rehearsal spaces. One evening is enough to meet the people who will tell you about everything else.
The places to know
Every neighbourhood has its spots — the café with a Sunday jam, the community studio with cheap hourly rates, the collective always looking for one more musician. We are mapping them, and this piece will be updated with verified addresses.
