Donation Suikerjam

The Suikerjam depends on the loving efforts and voluntary donations of its visitors!

The cost of one night is usually between € 170 - € 200 due to e.g. rent of the space, and equipment arrangements. Your donation not only helps the Suikerjam to continue, but also keeps it accessibly for people who cannot contribute financially!

For visitors we have organized favorably priced refreshments at TOKO (no income for Suikerjam). To save costs, private means are loaned to Suikerjam (such as PA, speakers, amplifiers). Related matters such as organization, website design / hosting / maintenance are done on a voluntary basis.

Besides donating, you can also help out with e.g. equipment set-up/disassembly, audio file editing. We are also always interested in ideas for events, collaborations, etc.

Suikerjam evolved from jams in living rooms, factory halls, pastures and even the waiting room of a dental care practice.

Initiators Maurits, Theun and Daniel aim to enable ‘making music together in a safe space’ regularly. We want to inspire musicians to expand their musical framework, let go of expectations and embark on a journey of discovery together. A musical breeding ground without fixed styles and expectations.

Music connects and inspires through shared experience, fun and knowledge, which is why Suikerjam is not just a musical initiative, but also a social initiative. We discovered that this form of jamming is also a lot of fun for spectators because they are so close to the creative process that they end up becoming part of it and experience how music is born.

Suikerjam is not tied to a specific place. We keep looking for wonderful, cozy and safe environments in which to create music. At the same time we have found a great base at TOKO, on the Suikerunie terrain in the city of Groningen. A wonderful location where we can make (amplified) music without being overly tied to specific times or other limits! Wonderful!

We thank the Cultural Participation Fund, which supported us for a year in 2023 in experimenting with the concept.
