About the day
In November the Futures 3 team spent a day at Leeds Media Centre working with musician Gary Husband and promoter / programmer Geoff Amos. The day was split between presentations, including a session using Gary's "Hot Wired" album with the Drive Quartet as a case study for planning and recording an album. In the afternoon all the team had the opportunity to have one-to-one sessions with Gary, Geoff and Nigel Slee from Jazz Yorkshire. It was an inspiring day for us all.
