Shrewsbury Jazz Network
Shrewsbury Jazz Network was started in 1997 by local jazz players and enthusiasts to encourage interest in live modern jazz by:
- booking and promoting jazz events featuring nationally known and up and coming young artists;
- arranging jam sessions and workshops for local musicians;
- developing the local audience for jazz by communicating news and information about the programme and other jazz events in Shropshire by print, web and email.
The Network arranges a monthly concert, usually at The Hive, Belmont, Shrewsbury, except in the months of August and December.
The Network is run by a small committee of volunteers and can only cover costs by obtaining grants/sponsorship and by running a monthly audience raffle.
A membership scheme rewards regular concert goers by a reduced entry price ticket and free copy of Jazz UK.
Audiences are encouraged to book in advance by contacting the venue, as seating is limited and some events sell out.
