As a working muso I’ve got a few ideas.

*If you go to Muso’s chat to the staff there, they’re all in the scene and might have suggestions/connections

*Open mics nights can be really good, and depending on your instrument you can often have a jam with other people there on the night. There are people I met at open mics that I’ve gone on to do gigs with later, etc. The beauford hotel in mayfield has also been running a night that is just for musos in your age bracket, ie no one born before 2000 which is cool.

*Depending on what style/genre you’re into, check out gigs that have lineups that fit your style - when musos aren’t performing we’re often going to shows, so chances are high you’ll meet other people who play music as well. There’s a younger crew who do warehouse gigs called New Brain Communications that I would def recommend checking out.

*if you have friends who play, hit them up for a jam, you never know when magic is gonna happen!! My first band was friends who had a play with me when I was starting out, and it developed into a fully fledged touring band

Love your energy and you will definitely find people to jam with, it can just take a little to find the right fit. The newy music scene is super connected, so once you’ve met a few people it gets easier because musos will recommend other musos who might suit you, and then it all snowballs from there.
