Call for partnership proposals to host Jazz North’s 2019 northern line showcase “We’re inviting expressions of interest from festivals, venues and promoters based in the North of England who would like to be our delivery partner for the 2019 edition of the northern line showcase” Deadline for proposals: 6 August 2018
About northern line
northern line is Jazz North’s flagship scheme to
support touring across the North of England. The
scheme offers a subsidy towards the artist fees for a
selected roster of musicians therefore reducing the
financial risk to promoters and encouraging more
jazz performances across the region.
For the last 6 years, the annual showcase has pre-
sented the latest selection of artists to join the
northern line roster in a day-long celebration of
high quality and diverse talent. The event offers
an open invitation for jazz audiences, alongside
promoters and programmers from across the UK to
visit, sample the music and learn first-hand about
the artists on the scheme.
The showcase has been presented in partnership
with manchester jazz festival for the last 5 years
and, with their support, has become a key event in
the Jazz North calendar. We now want to reimagine
what the showcase might look like going forward,
and we are looking for proposals for host partners
from 2019 onwards.

Basic requirements for partner
There are basic requirements that a partner would need to meet in order to be considered, however
we are open to all ideas as to the presentation of this exciting event.
The festival, venue or promoter check list:
Must be in the north of England
Must be able to present live performances from all artists selected on the 2019/20 roster
(approx. 10 in total) in suitable performance spaces
Must ensure that these performance opportunities offer around 40 minutes of music from
each artist, without overlap
Must be free for the public to attend
Must be technically equipped as required to deliver the performance
Must be willing to allow filming and recording to take place in the performance spaces and
surrounding area.
Must accommodate all musicians (av. 50) participating in the scheme throughout the day,
with breakout spaces suitable for use as a green room and for video interviews.
Will be promoted as events within the partner’s overall programme
Every venue should be fully accessible
Must be equipped with good production, backline, FOH and technical resources including
staffing, or with easy access to hiring of equipment if required
May be at any time of year
A space should be made available for up to 75 people that is suitable for a VIP reception and net-
working session between artists and promoters.
Ideally, the showcase should take place over one day as this enables our promoter guests to meet
and experience all of the artists in one visit and also allows us to bring in the crew to film and re-
cord the whole roster efficiently. If a one-day event is not possible, please outline how you would
deliver the showcase in a format that works for us.
What Jazz North can provide
All artists’ fees for the performances
PRS Royalty payments for the showcase performances
Support staff to help deliver the event as required
Any unusual backline or technical requirements for the
performances
Drinks/refreshments for the VIP reception

Should you have any enquiries regarding the requirements please don’t hesitate to ask.
• How you would host the event
• Confirming that you are able to meet the minimum requirements
• Indicating the likely time of year
The deadline for receiving your EOI is 12 noon on 6th August 2018.

didates in their host venue at a mutually convenient time.
Come and experience the event!
