Jazz Action Society Joins Together with Eastside Radio
On the 14th of March the outgoing board of the Jazz Action Society (JAS) approved a proposed change that Eastside Radio will now happily provide the administrative, event management and volunteer services for JAS.
Our aim is to now provide the Jazz Action Society with the following –
- Manage/maintain and develop a membership register of the JAS
- Encourage a connection between established jazz musicians who are associated with JAS
- Re-establish workshop events that were previously offered by JAS
- Provide supporter concessions to any Eastside events for JAS members
- Provide access to Studio B broadcasting and recording facilities
- Present weekly radio program updates and music recorded at JAS concerts
- Interconnect the JAS and Eastside websites
- Plan to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of JAS in 2014 which will follow-on from the 30th Anniversary celebration for Eastside Radio
To help celebrate this momentous occasion Eastside Radio and the Jazz Action Society will be hosting their first concert together on Wednesday May 30th at Paddo RSL featuring The Cope Street Parade. It’s a fun filled night of music and celebration starting at 7pm.
Also included on the night will be a special premiere short film screening of Who’s Wally, a moving tribute to long serving presenter Wally Wrightman, written and directed by Morgan Fiebig.
Please note that all JAS members are now eligible to attend all Eastside concerts and events at discounted prices. For those of you yet to renew your membership we would like to invite you to still be a part of this great initiative, The Jazz Action Society, which will soon be celebrating it’s 40th Anniversary!
