The Rare Music Club was founded by permanent artistic director Keith Tippett in 1992 to promote his favourite genres of music and to provide a regular performing home for the free improvising collective Mujician. After a few seasons in the Malaap Club and then the Grace Rooms at Gloucester County Cricket Club in Bristol the Club was shelved when the voluntary committee was forced to disband due to various life changes. In 2000 Mind Your Own Music took on the job of fundraising with a view to reviving this groundbreaking concert series which has now hosted three outside broadcasts on BBC Radio 3.

Musicians who have appeared at the Rare Music Club at St George's Bristol, Victoria Rooms, The Cube, Polish Club, Wiltshire Music Centre, Wickham Theatre, QEH Theatre, Bristol Music Club and Exeter Phoenix in 2001–2003 (click on highlighted names for links):
