Annual Report 2022 - 2023

2022 - 2023 saw an enthused and committed return to live music where we felt audiences once again felt secure to experience event environments post-pandemic, although we do still remain aware of ongoing potential threats.

Building on existing framework, working in conjunction with local promoters and educators, through our programme of work Jazz North East successfully supported and developed musicians, audiences, promoters and grassroots venues in Tyne and Wear.

We continued to use spaces that regularly promote jazz but also employed new performance environments to engage new diverse untapped audiences and provide a wider venue network for artists from and coming to the region.

Our project featured concerts, workshops, jazz socials, group meetings and discussion platforms.

Partnerships continued to grow which also saw us achieve some great coverage through BBC Radio.

We are proud that Jazz North East continues to enhance Tyne and Wear as a great place to live and reinforce the reputation of North England as a culturally vibrant centre for the arts.

Amongst others, our key venues throughout this time frame included The Globe and The Literary and Philosophical Society.

Alongside our venue partners and organisations including the South Asian GemArts, we continued to show support for the regional New Jazz and Improvised Music Recordings label, and remained lead partner for the forward thinking Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music.

Whilst the lockdown period of 2020 - 2021 presented a question of the ongoing existence of Jazz North East and what the future could look like, with funding support and the vital enthusiasm from our board and audiences we feel we have managed to return stronger than ever.

Our project manager and administrator was allowed to continue steering the ship, managing the required elements of the regular workload whilst attending many Zoom sector sessions and planning for the future.

We continued to promote with our ‘Women Make Music’ concert series ever present, showing commitment to the Keychange initiative. We also maintained membership with Black Lives in Music continuing to promote diversity through our programme and action. Embodying the values of Music Declares Emergency we continue to evolve our strategies for ecological sustainability.

Jazz North East continues in its determination to sustain the high quality of programming that has been its hallmark since the organisation’s inception in 1966. Whilst we fully appreciate the importance of the jazz tradition, we believe that jazz as a creative art form is constantly moving forward and that it is our responsibility to reflect and celebrate this dynamism. Thus presentation of new artists, collaboration with other promoters and further development of international links remain crucial to our work, alongside the development of new concepts and ideas to inspire creative practise, artists and audiences.

The Jazz North East mission is that of reflecting the diversity of jazz and improvised music. The future is exciting and our commitment to being a forward-looking organisation involves a degree of financial risk. Jazz North East, our audiences, and the artists that we support are immensely grateful to Arts Council England for their continued funding, and to all other supporting organisations.

We have remained conscious that there should be no compromise on quality, ensuring that we sustain our mantra “the Best in Jazz since 1966”. We continue to maintain a programme that covers a wide spectrum of jazz styles from performances, rooted in both the ‘mainstream’ jazz tradition through to highly experimental concerts of free improvisation. We support established artists, alongside young newcomers and recent graduates just beginning to emerge onto the scene.

We continue to remain in close contact with many regional festivals in planning future events. These include the South Asian ‘Masala’ Festival working the with regional GemArts, Tyneside Irish Festival, and the Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music.

A significant strand in our past programme has been our PRSF supported ‘Women Make Music’ project to highlight female musicians as composers, performers and instructors. We continue to develop this project and have discussed at great length the need to further support diversity within our work, to bring more people of colour into our activity, and to also find more representation for those with disabilities working alongside Attitude is Everything.

As an organisation we continue to step further into the position of a developmental body, as well as maintaining a reputation as a highly regarded promoter. Our involvement with musicians is apparent with frequent approaches in an advisory role to artists career development, requests to deliver presentations, appearing as panel members at forums and writing references and letters of support for local and international artists.

Venues and Partnerships

We were delighted to continue working with the award winning Globe. In doing so this has given us access to a well equipped venue following refurbishment, the venue is also fully accessible.

We also continued to work with Gosforth Civic Theatre. As an arts venue Gosforth Civic Theatre is home to, and run by, Liberdade Community Development Trust, a charity that works with people with learning disabilities and autism, giving them a place to belong, work and get involved in the arts and their community. As a truly inclusive space for performance, music, cinema, and events aimed at the heart of the community Gosforth Civic Theatre is a socially conscious and responsible space that prioritises the health, safety and wellbeing of its audiences, participants and performers. The Theatre acts as a live performance space with cinema projection facilities. The venue is also fully accessible, in a prime location for green transport links and benefits from on site free parking.

A third venue was the prestigious and historical Literary and Philosophical Society, which benefits from one of the finest grand pianos in the North of England, and a highly supportive team of staff and volunteers. The Lit and Phil continues to remain the central hub for Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music, and a venue celebrated by all musicians who perform there.

Our newest partnership with the venue Bobiks continued to evolve featuring a number of very well attended concerts. Bobiks allows access to audiences in Jesmond on the outskirts beyond the city centre.

With a new production team in place at Sage Gateshead we were delighted to see our post-covid partnership developing where we worked in conjunction on the promotion of the Icelandic / German piano duo of Sunna Gunnlaugs and Julia Hülsmann.

With the absence of another available venue and the ‘not to be missed’ quartet of Alex Hitchcock / Ant Law / Jasper Høiby / Sun-Mi Hong we returned to our old stomping ground The Bridge Hotel for a sell out concert, a venue much missed by many of our regular audiences.

We continued to work with the Award winning South Asian GemArts and also Tyneside Irish Festival.

International Partnerships

Jazz North East’s reputation as a significant presence on the international jazz scene continues. Artists and organisations continue to grapple with the fallout from Brexit and Covid, but we continue to maintain relations with Dutch Performing Arts and Jazz Danmark, whilst also maintaining a commitment to artists from many overseas countries including Luxembourg, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Canada and the USA, and many many more.

In this reporting period we featured artists from the U.S.A, Netherlands, France, Denmark, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, Iceland and Ireland alongside musicians from the UK.

Finance

The adventurous nature of Jazz North East’s programming would not be possible without the support of public funding, which enables us to maintain a creatively vibrant and forward-looking approach. Continued assistance from Arts Council England, who provide the largest share of our funding provided ongoing and gratefully received financial stability for the organisation. We received an Arts Council grant of £29,996 To support the period October 2022 - December 2023 having initially operated on reserves between April and October of 2022. We also benefit from a small amount of public donations alongside ticket sales and our online Discogs CD shop.

The Board

The Board has continued to benefit from the services of our paid admin assistant and project manager Wesley Stephenson, whose work in co-ordinating our concert programme and in liaison with the artists, concept and organisational development, alongside fundraising and marketing, has proved absolutely invaluable.

The Board members for 2022 - 2023 were:

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Plant and machinery

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

4. Limited by guarantee

Jazz North East Limited is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.

Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Jazz North East Limited

Year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Jazz North East Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

4. Limited by guarantee

Jazz North East Limited is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.

Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
