About us
EUJO is the University's only fully auditioned Jazz and Funk society.
Consisting of three primary ensembles, The Big Band, The Anything Goes Funk Band and the Small band, EUJO plays a wide variety of professional gigs. In the past these have included both University related events - such as Society Balls, Conferences and Graduation ceremonies - and private functions outside of University, such as Weddings, Drinks receptions, Public functions and local music festivals. We play a wide range of classic jazz standards, funk tunes, modern jazz and even some original charts composed by members past and present.
New in the 2024/2025 academic year, a Salsa Band open to members that rehearse every Friday evening. Furthermore, Small Band Sunday's are returning every other Sunday and are open to everyone with a focus on exploring the Real Book from A-Z whilst improving sight-reading and improvising. For more information, follow the Instagram page @eujojazz and stay tuned for updates.

Auditions for both bands will be held in Jukebox, Kay House from the 23rd-25th of September between 11-4pm and the sign-up document will be released after both taster sessions on Friday the 20th.
