WHY ARE WE CROWDFUNDING & WHAT WILL THE MONEY RAISED BE SPENT ON

It has been over 10 years since Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul started out as a small 2 day event for 1,000 people in the heart of Birmingham. It has now grown into THE summer party get together for thousands of people from across the UK & beyond.

Sadly, due to the coronavirus outbreak, there will be no Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Festival in 2020. This means we have lost a year's worth of revenue as well as a whole host of unrecoupable costs already spent on the 2020 event. In short, it has left a huge financial hole for the festival.

As it stands there hasn't been much financial support for UK Festivals, though we’re very greatful for the government backed loans these still need to be repaid. This is a huge burden for an independent company in a very challenging sector.

Therefore, we are turning to our Community to help us secure the future of Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul by pledging to our Crowdfunder.

We’ve put together some very special rewards, have a look here….

WHAT PLEDGE REWARDS ARE WE OFFERING?


We are quite excited by the pledge rewards that we are offering. From simple donations to the chance to win life time tickets to exclusive t-shirts & experiences to helping us launch a Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul club. There are plenty of cool rewards for you to pick up.


Direct donation

Lifetime Weekend Ticket x2 Raffle

This is one prize we all want to win! 2x lifetime tickets for Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul! Each raffle ticket costs £20, you can purchase as many as you want. We will be picking a winner once the crowdfunder has finished.

Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Returns.... Well sort of! We are delighted to announce the Pink Moon Camping Retreat - Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Takeover which will be taking place on 7th - 10th August 2020 in the beautiful setting of Umberslade Estate, Tanworth In Arden.

Our sister festival, Lunar Festival, has been hosting a socially distanced campsite for the last two weekends with only 250 people on a 5000 capacity site. They have been two of the best weekends in a very long long time.

Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Festival will be taking the reigns to host acoustic music, yoga & meditation in the day & campfires late into the night.

 Craft specialists HopArt will be on site with an array of the finest craft beers plus all the usual suspects (Wine, spirits etc) as well as a couple of street food vendors plus the farm shop & cafe to fill your stomachs. You can even order a Sunday dinner to be delivered on site.

 Remember - This is NOT a Festival - but a camping weekend with cool additions.

You can team up with your mates to book a pitch. 6 people per pitch (4 adults max) for £225 for 3 nights. Plus each pitch comes with its own toilets.

If you would like more information on the camping weekend before purchasing please head over to www.lunarfestival.co.uk

You can book your pitch through our Crowdfunder.

Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Takeover Ticket

In 2020, we had planned to launch our takeover series. In short, we plan to takeover venues in Birmingham for a Saturday day & night providing a killer line up of Jazz, Funk & Soul based artists. These plans, alongside the festival itself, were naturally shelved for 2020. However, we have teamed up with Norton's (soon to be our favourite venue in the city centre) for a series of takeovers in 2021. You can pick up tickets now for the first 2 takeovers. 3rd April 2021 (Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Classic) & 29th May 2021 (Hip Hop inspired). We are looking forward to bringing the Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul Club to Birmingham!
