Launched on the 22nd September 2004, initially Splash Gigs were delivered as batches, 2/3 gigs close together, featuring 2 or 3 "bands" on each night hence the name. Splash gigs now invite individual musicians to meet and play free improvised music in a series of planned and random groupings as arranged on the night. Splashs gig are similar to "jam sessions" found in other genre, the small difference here is that they are not turn up play, the musicians commit to attend prior to the gig.

Musicians register and interest to play and then are invited to play.
