The Matt Anderson Quartet has been shortlisted for ‘Band of the Year’ in the Jazz Yorkshire Awards 2012 alongside such big names as Trio VD, Roller Trio and Dennis Rollins Velocity Trio, and I have also been nominated for ‘Educator of the Year’. The Kate Peters Septet has also been shorlisted, along with Sela Bar (Pub/Bar Venue of the Year) and HEART in Headingley (Venue of the Year) where I help put on and promote gigs. Fingers crossed that at least one of these things might win an award!
