Today (30
April) is International Jazz Day. It is also exactly six years since The Globe
was bought by a cooperative dedicated to jazz.
Normally Jazz.Coop
would be holding a party to celebrate but these are not normal times. The Globe
is closed and we have no idea when, or even if, it might reopen.
The
pandemic has changed everything. The Globe will have to adapt if it is to
survive and flourish in the new post-pandemic world.
Over the
coming weeks the board of Jazz.Coop will be considering how The Globe might
operate in the future. They are asking for all people who care about The Globe
to get involved in discussing various options, taking decisions and making
things happen.
If you
are interested in taking part in the consultations please email chair1@jazz.coop.
Please use the subject ‘Shaping the Future’ and please send your message in the
next seven days.
Most of
the options for continuing to put on jazz gigs, workshops and jam sessions at
The Globe will require either more volunteers or greater investment or both. If
only a few people respond to this appeal, it would severely restrict the
options and could delay the reopening of The Globe.
Dave Parker (Co-Chair, on behalf of the board of Jazz.Coop.)
