In this vlog I’m taking you along as my quartet headlines the Isle of Man Jazz Festival, and shining a spotlight on what really makes these events possible: the volunteers.
🎷 Join me behind the scenes — from soundcheck and rehearsals to performance night — and meet the volunteers who work tirelessly to bring live jazz to communities worldwide.
Why this matters: Festivals like this don’t run themselves. Volunteers are the glue — they usher, manage backstage, coordinate logistics, greet artists, run merch, handle tech, and more. Without them, jazz communities lose the platforms where the music lives.
