YAMS – Young Adult Music Society
The Young Adult Music Society or YAMS for short, is a organisation put together by young adults, with the intention of giving young bands a place to play, and giving the rest of us something decent to do at the weekend.
Our main sponsor is the Creative Innovation Centre CIC who are a non-profit Community Interest Company and Social Enterprise Company No. 08140784. Any profits made go back into the community projects and services.
We choose the Creative Innovation Centre as our sponsor and primary venue because their goal is to make our community better, no matter the age of the person.
If you check out their About Us page, you’ll find the message that reads “CICCIC is an exciting place where being enterprising about your community or creative practice is what we are all about. We unite all good things that make us happy as individuals, groups and communities. That is why our strap-line often say Enterprise, Community & Culture.”, which we think sums things up nicely.
Our Next Event
Our next event will be on Saturday 23rd July 7-12am Full details can be found on this page.
