Sadly the Wardrobe Jam event due to take place this weekend in C.S. Lewis Square has been cancelled. Unfortunately given the nature of this outdoor event and current adverse weather conditions this was the only course of action to best ensure everyone's safety.
The Home Project 2: Food for Thought showcase will take place on Friday 9th February in St Martin's Church.

The February EastSide Sessions features No Horns, a jazz trio based in Belfast. They enjoy performing their exciting arrangements of jazz standards which feature the beautiful guitar work of Mateusz Chmielewski with the rhythm section of Jack Kelly (Bass Fiddle) and Ben Flavelle-Cobain (Drums).
They have previously played at EastSide Visitor Centre during the first Jazz @ JACK event in December and got a great response from the captive audience.
