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, Jazz Leeds , Leeds Jazz Festival and Brighter Sound. We’re always interested to hear from new partners who would like to co-host a day.
Sign up to our mailing list to be the first to know when we run the next day!
