Campaigning for Jazz

Pizza on the Park is set to close. This would be a terrible loss to the London jazz scene. Having performed at Pizza on the Park monthly for most of 2008 and some of 2010, I am deeply saddened by this news. This wonderful venue - the best listening room in town - really gave me a leg up to becoming better known in the jazz scene, both in London and nationally.

To join the campaign against closure, there's a rapidly growing facebook group.

The LondonJazz has blogged the situation (click here).

There's an interesting article in the Guardian (click here), which may convince those who believe its fate is already sealed, that there is hope.

Another campaign which I urge you to contribute to, is the following, led by jazz services: http://www.jazzservices.org.uk/JazzBusiness/JazzOffAir/tabid/206/Default.aspx

It is campaigning for more jazz on the BBC, as more and more channels are being cut, amid a growing fan-base for jazz.

Thanks for your support. Goodness knows, in the current political climate, it is desperately needed!
