2022 has been a busy year for me. I have just started my second year of a three year degree in dental hygiene and have been all over the UK performing gigs. I imagine 2023 will be no different so watch this space!
I had such an amazing time performing at Calderdale pride. What a fantastic event and what a privaledge it was to perform at the Piece hall in front of thousands!
The big news of 2021 is that I have just started a 3 year degree in Dental Hygiene at Teesside university! Over 300 people applied for this course with only 24 places avaliable so I feel very privileged. I have been a dental nurse for 17 years and can't wait for the next part of my journey.
Music is a huge passion of mine so don't worry, i'll still be writing new music and be out there doing gigs.
FOOD AND MUSIC, A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!
In 2018 I reached the quarter final of BBC1's MasterChef fufilling a life long dream to cook on the show.
food and music are two of my favourite thngs and I imagine i'm not alone.
I have this year started to put together a project that combine these two glorious things.
Imagine if I cooked for you and then performed..............

JESS GARDHAM PRESENTS.......
Jess Gardham Presents was a live music event I held in conjunction with SOCIAL VISION (Space Invaders) the brain child of my brother Joe Gardham.
The event was held in York at the end of 2019 and featured 5 incredible local acts.
Due to the success of the event (over 160 in attendance) I will be doing another one in the future so make sure you don't miss out.
Ticket information will be avaliable once a date has been set.
