Jazz ensembles and performers are in constant demand in Cambridge, whether that is for headline gigs, college recital series, music for special formal halls and events, or performances at launch events, charity events, and of course May Balls and other balls happening throughout the year.
JazzSoc's performers' directory allows your Jazz, Funk, or Soul ensemble* to publicise themselves to those looking for bands for gigs or events.
In our first year, JazzSoc was contacted many times asking for recommendations for jazz groups for events. It is our hope that the JazzSoc performers' directory works to democratise the process of contacting bands for events, and allows a direct contact between events organisers and ensembles. It also enables a wider circle of ensembles to get their names out into the scene in order to help jazz thrive in Cambridge.
*If you are a solo act you are welcome to publicise yourself here too.
