Jazz North – New Northern promoter bursary

Jazz North’s latest support scheme New Northern is a bursary for jazz promoters to support live emerging talent. A total of £5000 in bursaries up to £1000 will be awarded to successful applicants to help support fees and costs for northern emerging artists, therefore underwriting risk and helping pay essential costs. 

Designed both to support emerging artists in the north and give an injection of cash to promoters who need it, this easy-access scheme offers a quick intervention to northern grassroots promoters facing difficult financial circumstances. 

Chris Bye, Jazz North CEO, adds: “Promoters are the beating heart of local jazz scenes. With this next round of New Northern, Jazz North continues a long tradition of support for our regional promoters and programmers. Jazz North is proud to support those bringing through the next wave of talent and who remain essential to the northern jazz ecology.” 

Applications are open until midday on Monday 2nd September. To apply, click here.
