FRIENDS – DONATIONS
FRIENDS OF BRECON JAZZ & DONATIONS
If you landed here after making a donation – your support is really appreciated – thank you so much!. Here are some notes on how this helps the Festival. The original ‘Friends of Brecon Jazz’ [FoBJ] was a UK-wide membership organisation that had been associated with the Brecon Jazz Festival since its earliest days. Up to 50% of the membership fees were regularly donated to the Festival.
The FoBJ organisation has now been dissolved, and its mission passed over to the current Festival organisers to manage and support the Festival financially, and to promote its continuation and development. All your donations and subscriptions now go towards this aim, and to also provide help for specific events and emerging new jazz ensembles.
During the Festival FOBJ ran a centrally located Clubhouse, with food and refreshments. This served as a meeting place for Members and a place to receive programme information or just to relax. In addition, throughout the year, they kept Members up to date with information through newsletters, negotiated membership benefits such as priority booking and discounted Weekend ticket for early booking.
We welcome expressions of interest from any of our loyal jazz supporters out there who may be interested in developing a new ‘Friends’ scheme for the Festival.
