mjf is committed to ensuring that the people with whom we work (on-stage and off-stage), the audiences we serve, and the teams behind the scenes genuinely reflect the population of our catchment area: the north of England.

We’re proud to be one of the founding partners of @blacklivesinmusic. We’re working together to support mjf’s development and championing of culturally diverse work, artists and partnerships.

Partnering with BLiM will help us strengthen our reach to diverse artists; eliminate barriers in our recruitment processes; ensure our communications speak to a diverse range of people; and refine our talent development offer to reach an even wider range of diverse new artists.

We aspire to ensure that our work reflects not only the heritage of jazz, but the people with whom we all live.

This week BLiM launched a survey and are looking for responses from Black musicians and professionals. There is currently no data on Black musicians in the UK. Opportunity and access has been denied to many Black creatives in the industry, and with no formal platform to have a voice, many have gone unheard. BLiM want to change this, and are looking for the experiences of Black musicians.

You can fill in the survey, and read our full response via the link in our bio 📝

We’re thrilled to announce the latest mjf originals commissions!

We are supporting more than double the amount of artists in this round of mjf originals than in previous years, with a grand total of five pioneering new works, ranging from AI-generated musicians and historical commemorations to immersive drum performances, dirty cinematic electronica and place-based musical experiences.

Steve Mead, Artistic Director and CEO of mjf has noted that “in a time when gathering large forces of musicians and audiences in a physical space is unpredictable, we still want to provide our cherished platform for artists to innovate new creations for our festival audiences".

Find out more about the commissioned artists and their ideas via the link in our bio 👀

We’re very excited to present to you, the long awaited playlist from our Artistic Director and CEO Steve Mead!
