Fleece Jazz People

Fleece Jazz is run by a group of volunteers who work at and for gigs or behind the scenes (or both!). We are grateful for their work and their friendship.

We can always use some help. Do you fancy being a sound engineer, shadowing one of us for a while? Can you help with the work of setting up and putting away? Are you a social media expert? There are also lots of behind the scenes areas where help would be appreciated. If you would like to help Fleece Jazz to have a secure future, just email Dave. We do have fun and there is a perk: you get in free.

So in alphabetical order …
