As those who were at the Go On Shine Show on Saturday 17th November would tell you, you have to be there to know what it is to get jammed. This brief newsletter could never convey to you the sights, sounds and atmosphere from the big night. It does though contain a few pix and some of the comments we received from the Jammed after the show.

“ It was the first time I’ve seen StarJam ‘in action’ and I was absolutely blown away. All of the Jammers were truly inspirational and I have definitely been ‘Jammed’.” Crystal Clayton

Leanne Tiscornia

The Groovy Guitarists belt out “I’m a believer”

“Just wanted to congratulate you all on a fantastic show and to thank you for the hours of effort that went into producing what can only be described as a Masterpiece.”

Moana Mani is absolutely delighted to be on stage with Ben Lummis

“I was both enchanted and inspired by the enthusiasm all the children showed on stage, and I admire the courage that it must have taken for many (if not all) of them to get up and perform on stage. Overall, I was quite swept up in the joy of the night and will remember it forever.”
Lydia Hughes

“Saturday was one of the most inspiring, exhilarating, fun, busy, wonderful, entertaining experiences of my life! The Jammers were absolutely AWESOME! Working with them was such a joy, I will never forget it and certainly intend to be on board for next year’s extravaganza!”
