Wakefield Jazz Update 28 December 2020
As Wakefield is currently in Tier 3, with live indoor performances not allowed, and with restrictions seemingly unlikely to be relaxed, there seems little possibility of restarting Jazz gigs in the near future – but when we can, we will! In the meantime, keep an eye on the website, register for the email newsletter, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter to keep in touch.
There’s lots of jazz on BBC iPlayer at the moment, and you can search out jazz musicians on YouTube and Bandcamp, where you can support them at a difficult time. Among the musicians we’ve missed out on in the last nine months:
Rosie Brown/Jamie Taylor; Art Themen; Ben Crosland; Tango Siempre; Pete Oxley/Nicolas Meier; Jeff Williams; Shirley Smart; Irene Serra; Mark Lockheart; Sue Rynhart; Huw Warren; Hot Club of Jupiter; Vein/Stan Sulzmann; Veryan Weston; Dave Newton; Liz Fletcher; Tina May; Nikki Iles
Check them out!
And meanwhile, thank you again to all audience, volunteers and musicians for your ongoing support. We will return.
Pete Rosser (Promoter, Wakefield Jazz)
