We’re continue to look for sponsors who hope to support us long term. We're keen to run this festival annually and keep a big chunk of it free every year.

We look to programme multiple bands simultaneously,
and will pay aim all musicians at par with the good jazz venues in London. In the years we can't raise all the money through sponsorship and grants, we plan to make up the difference by selling subsidised tickets.

The largest chunk of our budget is musician fee and stage setup. We don’t want to skimp on that. Our costs include stage setup and takedown, robust sound equipment and engineers, instrument hire and transportation, permissions and licenses, insurance, basic festival amenities, artist and agent fees, stage management, content creation, marketing and outreach. If we raise more than our estimated budget, we will consider additional options such as expanding the scope of the community workshops, programming smaller events leading up to the festival to build momentum, providing a nominal payment to festival volunteers, and allocating any remaining funds for planning the next edition.
