HONEY JAZZ BARBADOS FESTIVAL Honey Jazz, a spinoff of the Honey Jam brand, started as an elegant one night jazz-themed evening at Frank Collymore Hall in Barbados, featuring local vocalists along with special guests, backed by an amazing band of young musicians. It acted as a fundraiser for a two- month artist development programme which provides educational, networking, mentoring and showcasing opportunities for local aspiring young artists. In 2017, the event expanded to the Honey Jazz Barbados Festival. The Festival returns the last week of January, 2018.
