B:and Together

Our Gospel and Jazz workshops are a subsidised music making programme for 11-19 year olds. Children learn Gospel and Jazz music from the best industry professionals in the city. It’s a great opportunity to make music and make new friends.

B:and Together performed at Mostly Jazz 23 to close their 2022/23 season - they were incredible and we're SO PROUD!
