The iconic Soho jazz club has announced its Musical Instrument Amnesty is back again for 2023.  

On January 28, the Frith Steet venue will open its doors between 10am and 3pm so that you can drop off your tambourine, keyboard, or tuba - whatever the instrument may be - and have a cup of tea or glass of fizz while you're at it.

All instruments - from plastic recorders to state-of-the-art mixing desks will be donated to school-aged children in the UK and beyond, so that communities across the globe have access to musical education. 

Ronnie Scott's Charitable Foundation has teamed up with charities Music For All and Sistema England to make this happen and ensure all instruments donated go to the best new homes possible.  

More than 500 instruments were donated in last year's amnesty, and high-profile donors have imparted various instruments over the years.  

Grammy and Brit Award-winning Sam Smith donated his white violin from his 2015 Brit performances of Lay Me Down, which ended up in the hands of MusicArt Society, a charity in Nepal that teaches disadvantaged children to play music.
