The next NTSS (National Touring Support Scheme) opened on Monday 5 August, and applications will be accepted until midnight on Sunday 1 September for touring taking place between January and March 2014.
Application forms are available to download on the Jazz Services website. To apply, you'll need to complete the form, which includes a budget summary and details of the dates, as well as providing an EPK containing details of the project and some examples of the music.

The next active period of NTSS touring is from October to December this year, and we had a very enthusiastic response to the scheme. The applications were reviewed by an independent panel, who have awarded funding to the following bands:
Alex Garnett's Bunch of Fives / Alexander Hawkins & Louis Moholo-Moholo / Andrea Vicari's Jazz Extempore / Arnie Somogyi's Scenes In the City / Arun Ghosh / Bad Ass Brass / Chris Biscoe & Roger Turner / Dominic Lash Quartet / Emily Saunders Band / Flashmob / John Law's Congregation / Jon Lloyd Group / Julian Arguelles Quartet / Matt Ridley Quartet / Preston-Glasgow-Lowe / Rachael Cohen Band / Zoe Gilby Quartet
Look out for these names on a stage near you in the coming months!
