We’re delighted to announce that Jazz at the Blue Lamp has been awarded the title of Jazz Venue of the Year at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards at London’s Pizza Express on 4th July. This is one of the UK’s most prestigious jazz awards and thanks to you all for supporting live jazz and making the Blue Lamp such an iconic and welcoming place.
Jazz at the Blue Lamp has staged over 300 Thursday night professional gigs since 2011 featuring top-class Scottish, British and international musicians and also runs monthly Jazz on a Sunday Afternoon sessions for local bands. It is also the home of the Jazz at the Blue Lamp Community Big Band and Youth Combo.
Jazz at the Blue Lamp Chair Marisha Addison said:
“All of us at Jazz at the Blue Lamp are delighted to receive the award of Jazz Venue of the Year, a reward for the hard work of our committee and all involved in making the Blue Lamp such a special place.
Heartfelt thanks go to our funders and supporters Creative Scotland, Aberdeen City Council and Jazz Scotland, and to Lewis Brown at the Blue Lamp for all his support. This is also a fitting tribute to the great Sandy Brown without whom none of this would have been possible.”
