We have a lot of people to thank for helping us put on some of the best jazz around - and to pick up a couple of jazz awards along the way! We'll be celebrating at the Chapel Allerton Arts Festival on 1st - 4th September with four jazz events to choose from.

The focus is on FUN – we have jazz and dance, jazz and silent movies, the best contemporary music and an open-air Jazz Sunday for all the family. 

Let the good times roll!

For prime pre-Independence Day action, head to Jamaica House in Chapeltown on 1 August for August Mawnin, a traditional Emancipation Day early morning gathering featuring readings of the 1838 Proclamation of Emancipation, rousing renditions of Jamaican abolitionist speeches and moving songs of freedom. 
Free admission, a ticketed event, more details here.
