“Bringing people together through music”

Based in Birmingham (UK), we are a charitable organisation, providing a wide range of activities for adults (18+) who enjoy playing and learning music whilst meeting others from their local communities.

With groups and events held across the city, we provide opportunities to those who feel that they might not fit into traditional musical set ups. By designing all our groups to incorporate all levels of musicianship we never exclude via auditions or set entry criteria.

Though music is integral to our work, we believe that it is secondary to the sense of community that music can create. Music binds people through common purposes and goals, no matter their background or situations. This is the heart of everything we do and carry this in to all our offerings.

  • Everyone Is Welcome

    We offer a range of activities for adults (18+) that cater to musicians and singers of all abilities and musical persuasions. We never audition and have no entry level requirements.
    Whatever kind of instrumentalist or vocalist you are,
    we’ll have a group that will suit you!

  • flexible payment options

    Your first session to any of our groups is absolutely free.
    Had a great time? Join the Misfits Music Membership, offering a range of prices to suit any pocket as well as significant savings over our flexible PAYG options. We also offer free places to our activities so that nobody gets left out.

  • Socialise and Meet

    Whether you are a newcomer to music or a seasoned pro, all our groups promote fun and friendly spaces for anyone and everyone. From providing social breaks in sessions to arranging a variety of events and concerts, you’ll feel very welcome in no time!

  • Perform And Play

    We host a variety of concerts and performances, all of them optional!
    Through rehearsing with our groups, we’ll support you to gain the confidence to perform in public without the requirement to.
    Of course we encourage, but it’s totally up to you!
