Join us in Colchester, Chelmsford and Basildon for our latest Essex Music Spotlight Sessions!
Spotlight Sessions are the perfect place for young people to showcase their musical skills. Much like an open mic night, these sessions are relaxed, informal and free! It doesn’t matter which instrument you play, the style of your music, whether you are a soloist or part of a music group. We welcome performers up to the age of 21*.
