The Parliamentary Jazz Awards have been postponed until early October due to the General Election being called on July 4th.
Due to take place at Alfie's Jazz Club in Soho the night before the election, the awards are organised on behalf of the All Party Parliamentary Jazz Appeciation Group but with Parliament going into recess, all such groups have been dissolved and will be reconstituted in the next Parliament after the election.
Chris Hodgkins, who coordinates the awards' selection panel, says that everything is on hold and he is currently unable to announce the nominations.
"Normal service will resume after the election," says Chris. "Once the APPJAG is reconstituted we'll be able to make an announcement regarding nominations and the awards will be able to go ahead."
