Juliet Fletcher, who originated the idea of JUMP Music Video Awards, leads the team staging the Selah
Festival programme and explains its inclusion by stating: ” JUMP allows people to experience great music
entwined with concentrated visual stories that give food for thought and enjoyment too. It will bring a different level of engagement extended alongside live performances and hopefully engender new long-term fans. She added, “These awards are as much as about encouragement as they are in recognition of the performance,
imagination and the skill of those in collaboration to express creativity”. The Festival venue, Holy Sepulchre, is home of the National Musicians Church. It became widely known
through its role in holding special services, keeping a Book Of Remembrance recognising famous composers
and other musical virtuosos including Sir Henry Wood co-founder of BBC Proms. Lew Jackson, Chair of the
Festival Committee, is excited by the program – “ Selah Festival seeks to add a new level of diversity and
spirituality in this its second year of operation”.
