Congratulations to all the winners in the Grassroots Jazz raffle draw last night!

Hull Jazz Club has just received the second grant from Grassroots Jazz. Dave Ellis has worked extraordinarily hard for years to keep this club running, in a completely voluntary capacity, and this will give him juuust a little more breathing room. grassrootsjazz.com

We don’t appear to have a government with any plans to ensure our clubs remain open, so for the moment at least we are ON OUR OWN. If you would like to see another club receive some help then please visit the Grassroots Jazz page and click ‘donate’. grassrootsjazz.com

The Garibaldi in Northampton is a special place. Northampton itself isn’t exactly awash with money and the work the team are doing there is utterly invaluable. Please consider chucking a few quid in to this fundraiser to keep this place alive. Thanks. gofundme.com/f/continue-the…

Grassroots Jazz has just issued the final grant to Highams Park Jazz Club. Soner Erson is a force of nature and deserves all the help he can get running this new club. Why not give them a visit? Donate to the cause here: grassrootsjazz.com

We have just boosted the crowdfunder for the The Globe in Newcastle to the tune of £1000. Debra Milne and the team are absolutely committed to keeping this little jewel in the Northeast up and running. Please consider sticking a few quid in yourself. Ta! crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-globe

Heading down to St Ives to continue the filming of a documentary detailing the ‘state of the nation’ with regard to the regional UK jazz scene. It’s an ACE sponsored project for Grassroots Jazz. Then to Swansea Jazzland to do the same tomorrow. No rest for the wicked!

25% of the profits from ‘Live ‘23’ will be going to the Grassroots Jazz charity which is giving a helping hand to many jazz clubs around the UK. The only problem is that it hasn’t broken even yet… You can pick up your copy here: nigethejazzer.bandcamp.com/album/live-23-2

Grassroots Jazz has paid the first grant of £500 to Jazz Hastings. To get the remaining £1500, they need to have started an Instagram account and gained 500 followers. Just 24 hours later they have one, and 168 followers! Please help them across the line. instagram.com/jazzhastings?i…

Grassroots Jazz has just made the initial payment of £500 to Jazz825 in Southend. Trevor Taylor is doing good work out there, in challenging circumstances. He needs to boost the social media figures to get the second grant so please give them a follow on Instagram and Facebook.

Jazz825 in Southend need to get 1000 Instagram followers and 1000 Facebook followers to qualify for the second Grassroots Jazz grant. Please give them a follow! Facebook: facebook.com/share/1EJvevhr… Instagram: instagram.com/825jazz?igsh=M…

I’m nearly ready to post the Arts Council funded Instagram instructional video and ‘fly on the wall’ documentary about UK Jazz Clubs on the Grassroots Jazz Facebook page. So if you want to see this stuff, give the page a follow! Thanks. facebook.com/profile.php?id…

Here’s the 6 part Instagram tutorial, sponsored by Arts Council England. I reckon I knew about a third of this! Massive thanks to Joel Barford for his expertise, John Kye Video Guy for his professionalism and ACE for diverting funds toward this cause. youtube.com/playlist?list=…
