Flotsam Sessions residencies are incredible opportunities for professional and amateur musicians from diverse communities to meet, share & arrange roots music to play in dynamic, powerful concerts.

Our latest residency took place in May 2024 at Newham Music in Startford, East London, welcoming 30 talented musicians of different ages, backgrounds, languages and instruments. Over 4 days they learnt traditional songs and tunes from each other, representing music from all over the globe. As well as creating a unique repertoire, we took the music to our local community in open workshops, hosted an open mic event, and played a sold out performance at the Jago in Dalston.

In March 2022, Flotsam held a week-long residency in Catford, bringing together a group of 30 musicians from across London and the globe, which culminated in a sold-out show at one of London’s top venues for world and roots music: Jago in Dalston.
