Wakefield Jazz is a not-for-profit organisation, founded in 1987 by Alec and Faith Sykes, who nurtured the club from its inception to national recognition.
Wakefield Jazz strives to uphold the slogan: "Keeping Jazz Live in Wakefield - Keeping Live Jazz in Wakefield".
The club runs weekly events, normally starting at 8:30 PM on Friday evenings at Wakefield Sports Club.
We provide an intimate club atmosphere in a room with a capacity up to 180. Musicians and audiences alike regularly comment on the special ambiance which develops during concerts - quite unlike the sterile distant relationship with some theatre audiences.
