Armagh preserves free Jam

August 17, 2007 |

News reaches the UlsterMusic.com newsroom of a “secret” art and music festival near Armagh on Saturday, August 18. Unlike the Rolling Stones concert at Slane on the same day, you are allowed to bring an umbrella…
Now in its second year, Homemade Jam is Northern Ireland’s only free music and arts festival. Held at a secret location near the village of Derrynoose, Co Armagh, this year’s event promises to be an eccentric mix of indigenous sounds and vision. In 2006, posing as a small, rural producer of traditional fruit preserves Homemade Jam unleashed a barrage of live music, art and design on a 400-strong crowd. One year on, and the Jam is back. The recipe remains the same - a little bit of oddity, a whole lot of DIY and a face full of non-conformity – but this year we have moved beyond our little cottage industry to bring you an event which is bigger and better than before. The sites natural ampitheatre is the perfect venue for a night of unique music and innovative design. Food and drink, sourced from local vendors, will be available to all from are fully liscenced bar and mega barbeque. Camping and toilet facilities are also available. Homemade Jam is a free event before 2pm with ticket, or a £5 donation thereafter - unless in fancy dress along with ticket.
