Arts Council England Funding


jazz north - musicians at heart of every project
"..musician's and their creative practice at the heart of every project"

UPDATE May 2012

A consortium with the working title ‘Jazz North’, led by jazz development agency Jazz Yorkshire, has been successful in their bid to set up a new North area jazz agency. Jazz North is a consortium of experienced delivery organisations and individuals which will build a new northern jazz delivery model, based on collective partnerships.

Jazz Yorkshire Ltd will cease operation at the end of September when the organisation makes the transition into Jazz North with fellow consortium members. Jazz Yorkshire Ltd will still exist as a legal entity and it is hoped to maintain the website for a period .

[April 2011] Jazz Yorkshire made a proposal to the Arts Council for funding during 2012-15 as part of their National Portfolio Funding Programme (NPFP). The proposal included establishing a formal collaborative partnership with NWJazzworks and Jazzaction (NE) to form a northern jazz development agency so as to establish a very strong and sustainable northern presence in the national and international jazz world.

While our agencies have not received NPO status we are committed to forming a northern region jazz agency and we are in dialogue with Arts Council England and other stakeholders about how best to achieve this, including pursuing alternative funding options.

Jazz Yorkshire has RFO funding until the end of March 2012 so until then it is business as usual supporting jazz stakeholders across our region.
