The Jam Factory was originally set up in 2006, at the beginning of the year at The Observatory, in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. We were given a grant of £1,000 to buy musical instruments for the people who didn't have any transport, or were beginners. As time went by , due to the success of the group, we were given another grant from the Social Services in Dyke Street of £3,000 to buy better musical equipment, including an 8-Track digital recorder and an Applemac Laptop.
The Jam Factory has now got four CD's which were recorded on an Analogue 4-Track recorder and the Applemac Laptop. Most of the recorded material is composed and played within the group.
Thanks to the Media Action Group for Mental Health, who organise the Sanity Fair every year we are now on the Internet with our music, so we can now be heard all over the world!
We've been asked to compose a soundtrack for the BBC, and also Staffordshire University has asked us to compose music for a website they are in the process of setting up for Carers in mental health.
