The Jazz Space Launch in Merkinch
10 Oct 2011 in Highland, Music
We are delighted to be helping to launching a new event in Inverness on 11 and 12 November 2011.
Jazz Space aims to produce and promote events that create a space and make a place for experiencing live Jazz. Inspired by the whole concept of “the third place/space” to encourage a sense of community, belonging and inclusiveness in all that we do.
Jazz sometimes gets a reputation for being exclusive, pretentious and maybe even difficult to understand or listen to. We would like to show you that in fact it needn’t be any of these things-we think it’s just great music!
THE SUPPER CLUB will be a new event that encourages people of all ages to listen and dance to live music in a relaxed, informal and friendly setting.
