Bringing the best of national and international jazz artists to the city year round, Sheffield Jazz are a small not-for-profit with a big passion for music and over 40 years' experience to boot. Their gigs alternate between three venues: Crookes Social Club, Firth Hall, and the Crucible Studio.
After a return to hosting live jazz on 23 October, the November and early December Sheffield Jazz gigs are unfortunately now cancelled as a result of the new lockdown.
