Thanks to all those who attended this year's Jazz Stroud festival and helped it to be one of the best yet!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sending this out to everyone who made Jazz Stroud possible this year and one of the best, that’s a message to all our artists, audience and our incredible team!
It was a truly special year.
There was a nervousness about this festival on a few levels, moving our date from it's regular spot, having enough in our budgets to get it over the line and of the craziness of this particular time we all find ourselves in, but the positivity, optimism and warmth of those that believe in this fest shows that there is truly something remarkable about how the arts can make the difference.
We have always felt that bringing a community together through art is a political statement and even more so after this phenomenal Jazz Stroud weekend, It’s just so inspiring.
We want to do this again and we’ll do together so let’s move on this now. We can all make our contribution and full passes are up so let’s raise the funds to invite more phenomenal artists to this wonderful town.
So much Love to every single one of you, you are shining stars.
Neil and the beautiful Jazz Stroud Team ❤️❤️❤️

WHY WE DO THIS…
Jazz Stroud is more than a weekend of music. It’s a platform for grassroots creativity,a celebration of the new wave of UK jazz, and a launchpad for regional youth talent. Every ticket sold and every donation made helps fund our emerging talent development work — right here in Stroud.
We believe the future of jazz is shaped not only by established names, but by artists who are innovating, experimenting and redefining the sound of the genre. Jazz Stroud is dedicated to creating space for emerging and regional talent alongside respected performers, offering audiences the chance to discover music in motion rather than in retrospect. In a festival landscape often driven by scale and headlines, we choose connection, discovery and creative depth.
Rooted in Stroud, the festival brings artists, audiences and local culture together in a way that is intimate, curious and alive.
Cutting-edge UK Jazz — emerging talent, celebrated names, wide-range of genres across Stroud, from the Goods Shed & SVA to hidden gems throughout town.
