We are developing an ultra-intimate, high-quality space dedicated to jazz and musical creation, located in Bon-Secours (Péruwelz), within a renovated former bakery.

The venue is conceived as a hybrid micro-hub:

• A 31 m² modular listening room
  (showcases, concerts & masterclasses)

• A curated record shop
  (vinyl & physical releases)

• A quiet, professional base for residencies and creation

For the 2026–2027 pilot seasons, we are inviting artists to express interest in performing, teaching, or developing projects within this unique format.

Apéro Jazz Showcases

Sunday mornings | 11:00 – 13:00

An intimate listening experience for a seated audience.
Public price: €18–20 | Members: €15 (incl. 1 drink)

Goûters Musicaux (Musical Tea-Times)

Wednesday afternoons | 14:00 – 16:00

Educational sessions and concerts introducing young audiences to live music.
Public price: €12 | Members: €8 (incl. snack/drink)

Educational formats may also be developed in connection with local schools, academies, or cultural partners.

Masterclasses

Saturday afternoons | 13:30 – 15:30

Sunday mornings | 09:00 – 11:00

An immersive “boutique” learning experience, limited to 12 participants.
Public price: €35 | Members: €25

Residencies & Creation

A discreet, acoustically treated space for:

• rehearsals

• recording sessions

• audiovisual or research-based projects

Pricing is designed to balance artist remuneration, audience accessibility, and long-term sustainability.
(Base rates excl. VAT — designed for modularity)

Co-Production (Revenue Share)

• A fixed €75 technical fee is deducted from total ticket revenue
  (sound, setup, technical operations)

• The remaining net revenue is shared:

  • 70% for the artist

  • 30% for the venue

Example
25 seats (mix of public/members) ≈ €425 gross
€425 − €75 technical fee = €350 net
Artist share (70%) → €245

No other fees or deductions apply.

The Sunday Prime Format

To maximize artist revenue and audience engagement, we offer a “Double-Bill” Sunday:

• 09:00 – 11:00 — Boutique Masterclass (12 cap)

• 11:30 – 12:30 — Apéro Jazz Showcase (25 cap)

By coupling these formats, we create a high-value Full Pass for the audience, ensuring a warm, dedicated listening environment and significantly increasing revenue potential through the 70/30 co-production model.

Certain combined formats may be offered under a single audience pass during the pilot season.

Modular Rental

For masterclasses, rehearsals, or productions:

• Full day (8h): €200

• Half day (4h): €120

Artists retain 100% of ticket or participation revenue.

This format is also suitable for private sessions, professional rehearsals, or closed listening events.

Industry Showcase Pack (B2B)

€275 — Half day (4h)

Includes:

• premium technical setup

• dedicated welcome for up to 5 industry guests

• professional live audio recording for EPK use

• coordination with a local restaurateur partner (catering)

Multi-Date & Artist Focus Formats
For certain projects, multi-date collaborations or artist focus formats may be proposed, allowing a recurring presence across the season under a single agreement.

These formats are designed to support artistic development, deepen audience relationships, and provide greater continuity for both artists and the venue.

Included in the technical fee:

• Acoustically treated walls

• Digital PA / mix calibrated for a 31 m² space

• Premium digital backline:

  • Casio Celviano Grand Hybrid
    (developed with C. Bechstein)

  • Drum-tec electronic drums
    (optimized for low-volume, high-quality jazz dynamics)

Designed for high-quality sound at low volume, ideal for jazz, acoustic, and experimental formats.

• The venue is equipped with a compact, professional audio and video production environment, suitable for high-quality live session recording and project documentation.

• Depending on the format and prior agreement, this may include multitrack audio capture and discreet fixed-camera video recording, allowing artists to generate usable material for EPKs, archives, or research purposes.

• Basic post-production optimization may be applied to ensure professional usability for documentation and promotional needs.

• Recording options are conceived as an extension of the artistic work, rather than as a broadcast or livestream service, and are proposed selectively depending on the project.

• Recording and documentation options (audio and/or video) may be proposed under separate agreement.

Bon-Secours is a small border town known for its calm atmosphere, located at the crossroads of Belgium and Northern France, within easy reach of Tournai, Lille, Brussels, and Ghent.

The venue is conceived as a pause point on a tour — a place to play, listen, work, and meet audiences in a focused setting.
Its human scale and proximity to nature make it particularly well suited to short residencies and intimate performance formats.

Beyond its day-to-day activity, the venue is conceived as a base camp for the development of larger jazz and creative music events in the region.  In the longer term, and subject to partnerships and feasibility, this could include occasional large-scale formats in emblematic local sites, such as the Basilica of Bon-Secours.  The pilot seasons aim to lay the artistic and professional foundations for these developments, without compromising the venue’s intimate scale.

A Natural Fit Within a Touring Day

Public events are intentionally programmed during the day, making the venue an ideal complementary stop on a tour, without conflicting with evening shows in nearby cities.

A Strategic Showcase

Invite programmers and professionals (e.g. Tournai Jazz Festival, Jazz en Nord, Le Phénix – Scène Nationale) in ideal, listening-focused conditions.

Year-Round Artist Visibility

Season artists benefit from a dedicated Artist Corner in the shop, showcasing albums (vinyl, CDs, limited editions) throughout the year, with a preferential 15% commission.

Limited editions, signed copies, or project-specific releases may be highlighted in connection with showcases or residencies.

A Committed Listening Community

The venue operates with a small membership base that supports its activity and helps build a committed listening community, contributing to more stable attendance across the season and attentive conditions for artists.

Local Impact

By joining the pilot season, artists help demonstrate the vitality of the local jazz and creative scene and support the long-term cultural development of Péruwelz.
