UK Music Day on Jazz FM – Easter Monday

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

This morning, we have announced that on Easter Monday (13th April), we will be celebrating UK Music Day.
The
entire day has been created to show support for the British jazz
community which has been strongly affected by the ongoing COVID-19
crisis with most or in some cases, all income drying up (read our COVID-19 support guide here). 
From
6am until 7pm, Nigel Williams, Anne Frankenstein and Jamie Crick will
play nothing but jazz, soul and blues music from British musicians or
those who call the UK their home, and feature interviews and archive
session performances each hour. Mark Walker will present a supercharged
UK only Jazz FM’s Greatest. 
From 7pm, Jazz FM will open the gates to its Virtual Jazz Festival
– a multi-artist jazz festival, exclusive to Jazz FM. We will take you
on a virtual journey of our festival site, going from virtual stage to
virtual stage, with artists from all over the UK and the world who are performing exclusive performances from their own homes, studios and offices, all in support of UK Music Day! 
Nick
Pitts, Jazz FM’s Content Director said “One thing that became very
clear to us at the start of the Coronavirus crisis was how deeply this
was affecting our UK jazz community. The idea for UK Music Day started
with an email from Jazz FM presenter
Helen Mayhew to the entire station saying “what can we do to help?” and
the rest just flowed from that. I’m really hoping that Jazz FM through
its excellent presenters, producers and programmes can make a difference
and show our musical family across the country that we are there for
them.” 
The
station will be revealing more and more artists taking part in the
virtual jazz festival every day over the week, plus will provide more
details on how listeners and jazz fans can be involved.
