JAZZ NORTH-EAST LIMITED
Jazz North East promotes grant-aided jazz concerts, festivals and workshops both alone and in partnership with other not-for-profit organisations. We aim to provide opportunities to hear and on occasion work with artists of the highest quality from our own region, from the wider UK and from overseas. We keep admission prices low to encourage attendance by young people and the unemployed.
