Tomorrow’s Warriors is delighted to be one of a number of potential beneficiaries of the Ronnie Scott’s Charitable Foundation‘s 2017 Music Instrument Amnesty this October (Thanks so much you guys, and thanks to the inimitable Norah Jones for supporting the campaign!). 

So, here it is. If you’re holding your old instrument hostage in an attic, a cupboard or offsite storage facility, now’s the time to set it free! Hand in your preloved instrument as part of this year’s amnesty to secure it a new lease of life and a lot of love in the hands of an aspiring young musician who otherwise could not afford to buy one. We promise the jazz police won’t arrest you! 😉

How does it work?

• 1 x baritone saxophone
• 1 x double bass
• 2 x electric piano / keyboard
