Burnley Jazz Summer School 2007

 

 

 

We are very sorry to inform you that, due to the continued redevelopment of Burnley Mechanics, it is not possible for the venue to host a Jazz Summer School in 2010.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone whose support and loyalty have contributed to the success of such a prestigious event. I hope that we have not disappointed your plans for the summer too much. We are hoping to continue the Summer School in 2011.

Yours sincerely

Kirk Worley
Arts and Theatre Manager

 

A MESSAGE FROM STEVE BERRY

Burnley Jazz Summer School Course Director

The late Stan Barker began the Burnley Jazz Summer School back in 1987. Together with Alan Daiches, they established an event of cultural significance and importance, greatly enriching the artistic life of the area. After Stan was called to the Great Jam Session in the Sky, the summer school first went to Rob Buckland's leadership, and then to me. I like to think we've honoured Stan's example and inspiration, helping the event to grow and become one of the UK's foremost and enjoyable Jazz summer schools

In the meantime I would just like to thank Tutors and Students and Burnley Mechanics Staff alike who have helped make the course what it is over all these years. Let us hope this is only a temporary blip in what will continue to be an illustrious history.
