Several bands have visited and entertained people at South Somerset Mind's Drop In centre following a series of live music events in Yeovil organised by Live Music Now and JUMPS

The bands played in the bandstand at the lower end of Middle Street in Yeovil and had a contingency plan to relocate to South Somerset Mind's Drop In centre in the event of bad weather. Luckily for us the weather turned bad and we found ourselves being entertained by some very good bands who not only played, but involved people in their performance.

6pac Jazz Sextet has worked extensively throughout the UK since they formed in June 2002. The players met whilst studying at the Royal Northern College of Music (Manchester, UK). In June 2004 6pac were awarded the RNCM Gold Medal, the highest accolade for performance that the College bestows, and the only time in its history that an ensemble was awarded. Later in the same year the band received the Peter Whittingham Award for Innovative Jazz from the Musician's Benevolent Fund for their project, 'Last Minute Changes'. This led to a tour of northern universities and their subsequent debut CD featuring brand new music by young people and the band themselves, available through the website. www.6paconline.com
