I'm raising funds for All Of The Above (AOTA) and Bath Jazz Weekend + added attraction of a birthday party for AOTA (and me) on 22 April
All Of The Above music programme of jazz, folk and occasionally other music has now been running at Widcombe Social Club, Bath for 5 years. The three-day Bath Jazz Weekend in January launched in 2019 and 2020 (and sadly postponed in '21 and '22 because of Covid).
AOTA and the new Bath Jazz Weekend are promoted as a not-for-profit initiative by me, Nod Knowles, currently at my own risk and without any funding or sponsorship but with the goodwill of the participating musicians and crew generously accepting modest fees and conditions. So this year we'll be raising funds (we hope) from public funders and private donors to build a bigger and wider programme and offer our world-class artists better rewards for their performances.
All donations through Crowdfunder will be put towards supporting the costs and fees of AOTA gigs and the 2023 Bath Jazz Weekend.
Birthday Presents (to you on my birthday!)
All donations of £40 and over before 22 April 2022 will receive a complimentary ticket & invite to the AOTA 5th birthday party (also incidentally my birthday) gig at Widcombe Social Club on 22 April - with musical delights from Kevin Figes & Denny Ilett's new quartet Turning Corners and Tony Orrell in the brand new Last Minute Meter Readers.
All donations of £60 and over before 22 April 2022 will receive a complimentary ticket & invite to the AOTA 5th birthday party (also incidentally my birthday) gig at Widcombe Social Club on 22 April with musical delights from Kevin Figes & Denny Ilett's new quartet Turning Corners and Tony Orrell in the brand new Last Minute Meter Readers - PLUS a vinyl re-release copy of one of the most significant albums in jazz history.
All donations of £90 and over will also receive all of the above (not a play on words!) PLUS a complimentary Weekend Pass to the Bath Jazz Weekend (6, 7 & 8 January) 2023.
Crucially, all donations will build towards more gigs for audiences and better conditions for musicians and crew in Bath.
This project successfully funded on 22nd April 2022
