Northern Jazz promoters agree touring programme
NorvolJazz, the Northern Jazz promoters network met at the Southport Winter Jazz weekend at the Royal Clifton Hotel on 7 Feb and agreed to back a proposal to develop a programme of visits of national and international jazz artists and ensembles to Northern Jazz venues over the course of 2-3 years. The programme will be facilitated by the Leeds based Apollo jazz network.
Paul Bream, who chaired the network event also expressed the sadness of the group in hearing of the recent death of NorvolJazz promoter Dave Hatfield - “Fusebox “organiser and leading light in the former Leeds Jazz. He also congratulated Norvol member and Scarborough Jazz organiser Mike Gordon for his nomination under “Services to Jazz” section in the current Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2015.
