Artist Development Days
Jazz North’s Artist Development Days are in-person networking events hosted in partnership with brilliant venues and festivals around the North of England once or twice a year. These events are relaxed and informative spaces for meeting like-minded musicians and getting practical advice from fantastic industry people.
Previous artist development days have been held in partnership with The Glasshouse, Leeds Jazz Festival, Lancaster Jazz Festival and Brighter Sound. We’re always interested to hear from new partners who would like to co-host a day.
The next event will be in partnership with Jazz Leeds and Leeds Jazz Festival. The theme for the day will be Success on Your Own Terms. Come and join us!
11-6pm, Monday 5th October 2026 at The Attic, 3 Sheaf St, Leeds LS10 1HD
