As we enter a new period of lockdown in the UK, the future of the venue and that of live music is once again cast into doubt.
We are extending our Crowdfunder deadline to allow our community to support the venue whilst we remain closed.
Words can’t describe how grateful we are for the support we received from May 2020 to April 2021.
Without your generous donations it’s safe to say we wouldn’t be operational. Your donations helped save jobs in so many areas and were delighted that so many of the same staff will be here to welcome you when you next attend the venue.
We sincerely hope we will be able to open without interruption for the foreseeable future. With that in mind, the best way we can thank you is by welcoming you back to The Jazz Cafe when you redeem your chosen reward.
Thank you!
The Jazz Cafe team

****************
Once again, The Jazz Cafe is forced to close in line with government regulations regarding the coronavirus pandemic.
We are incredibly grateful for the support we have received to date from our community, our sincere thanks go out to all the donators who purchased a reward from our Crowdfunder over the summer. We truly look forward to welcoming you back if you haven’t joined us this Autumn.
The Pay It Forward Campaign will now draw to an end but from November we will be keeping our Crowdfunder page open so that those who are unable to attend a seated gig, or those who live further afield, can still support live music at The Jazz Cafe if they wish.
We are now closed but even our new, socially distanced format at less than a third of capacity is impossible to sustain long term. The venue continues to lose tens of thousands per month off the back of incalculable losses throughout lockdown.
Your support will help us secure the future of the venue and ensure that we can pay staff, musicians and freelancers whilst keeping live music opportunities available for as many as possible.
We ask project owners to honour their rewards wherever possible but please note that all pledges are donations and there is no guarantee that you will receive any rewards from the project owner. Please see our Terms of Use for more information regarding rewards for pledges.
