Name: Blur the Lines featuring Jamettone
Start: 2025-05-22T19:00:00+01:00
Location: Howard Assembly Room

Blur the Lines featuring Jamettone will be an innovative showcase of improvised live music and inspiring performances from Leeds based poets, rappers, singers and musicians.
It’s been quite the journey so far for Lence and Blur the Lines with sold out shows at Leeds Playhouse, an historic event at Leeds Library and multiple appearances at Leeds Literature Festival. This time they are joined by Jamettone, a collective of exceptional musicians who will be creating improvised instrumentals to accompany the artists on stage.
Expect an electric atmosphere as we celebrate a blurring of the lines between jazz, hip hop and poetry!
Part of Leeds Jazz Festival. In Association with Lence and Blur the Lines.
