London's New Late Night Jazz Venue Opens June 2013

 

 UK Jazz Radio - Europe's #1  internet jazz radio station, has teamed up with one of the prestigious venues at the O2, the UK's leading entertainment complex, to bring the jazz world a new late night opportunity.

Once a month, from July to December, The Water Margin complex hosts a UK Jazz Radio Night from 10pm to 3am with established artists being joined by new and upcoming artists from UK Jazz Now who are being offered a rare opportunity to showcase their talents.

There will be a range of tickets prices - from standing only through to VIP tickets with a meal, seated in the wonderful Chinese buffet restaurant upstairs, and Champagne meet-and-greet.

The nights will be hosted by UK Jazz Radio's Brian Soundy and John Hicks with a special guest appearance by a UKJR Presenter who will record their show for that week live in the venue, for broadcast later that week.

Look out for news of the full programme which will be announced right here shortly.

 

 

 

 

The National Jazz Archive, UK Jazz Radio and UK Jazz Television form a media partnership

The National Jazz Archive – the UK’s acknowledged research and information centre for jazz, blues and related music genre based at Central Library, Traps Hill, Essex - with UK Jazz Radio and its subsidiary, UK Jazz Television have formed a media partnership aimed at raising the national profile of the National Jazz Archive. The Archive’s founder, jazz musician and broadcaster, Digby Fairweather, said: “as this vital new internet station now reaches well over a million listeners every week worldwide, there are exciting possibilities for co-operation in promoting the National Jazz Archive, providing a visible link to our services for researchers, authors, students and jazz lovers in the UK and beyond, establishing fuller contact with other important jazz archives throughout Europe and America, and promoting our activities on the station’s popular website.”

“It is also planned to develop the oral history of jazz in Britain via filmed interviews with eminent UK performers which, from March 2011 will be televised on the station’s website.”

UK Jazz Radio will be promoting the National Jazz Archive and its regular public events.

Notes to Editors:


The National Jazz Archive (NJA) was opened for public use in 1992 at Loughton Library by the late Sir John Dankworth and Dame Cleo Laine with its own dedicated premises under the continuing benevolent aegis of Essex County Council.


The purpose of the NJA is to collect and tell the stories of Jazz in the UK and to be the national hub for access to collections, information and research relating to jazz in the UK and achieving this through collaborative partnerships as well as the preservation, sustainable management, development, and active acquisition of jazz memorabilia and publications. Through education and information exchange NJA works to influence the appreciation and understanding of Jazz and its history.


The Archive has achieved a practical outreach facility, establishing duplicate collections in recognized educational centres including universities and music colleges throughout the UK.

In 2011 the NJA will present its first full-scale exhibition at London’s Barbican
