Platform One acoustic sessions at Boojum Saturday 24th June

Boo Jams is a new monthly evening where students from the acclaimed and award-winning college Platform One will perform at Boojum&Snark.

As part of an initiative to inspire a revival in Sandown, Boojum&Snark’s apprentice Harri Jones-Evans approached Ben Allman, lecturer at Platform One, to create a music evening to help students gain confidence as well as bring new experiences to Sandown.

There’s been a concentrated effort to improve the provision for young people in Sandown especially via the Bay Resilience Team. Boo Jams will offer a chance for young people to engage with the inspiring world of music.

Boo Jams is on Saturday 24 June 6-9pm. The evening will feature acoustic performances from a variety of Platform One acts and a pop-up record stall provided by AAA Records.

Platform One College of Music was founded in 1999 by brothers David and Peter Pontin. The college has established a reputation for providing inspiring higher education options and programmes for musicians. Alumni include Wet Leg’s, Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers.

Boojum&Snark is an innovative regeneration project based in a former long-standing empty High Street Shop. Founded in 2019 it has provided opportunities for creative practitioners and the community as well as co-producing award-winning craft beer.
