How to get your gig added to the Gig Guide
At present gigs are added to the calendar by a small team of volunteers and friends of Jazz Yorkshire.
We will endeavour to get your gigs added as soon as we can but it is recommended to send them over as early as you can as it might take a few weeks to get them into the guide.
It helps if you can include website links for the artist and promoter as this helps people when they want to find out more about your gig.
It will also be quicker if you can send a Word or RTF document with the details rather than just sending a printed flyer
new feature - residencies
The Gig Guide now includes pub and club gigs which take place on a weekly basis. If you organise or know of a pub gig which should be added please let us know.
Email address
Email to: listingsATjazzyorkshire.org (replace AT with @) or as an alternative cut-and-past details into the contact page form
