Latest news from the 'Jazz in the Bar' team at Brecon -
An exciting line-up for the Brecon Jazz Festival 2013 has just been announced.
We are delighted to be collaborating with Orchard again this year in contributing some programming to the festival, and have also initiated a new development, of bringing other jazz societies in Wales into this partnership.
This is described in the 'Jazz Clubs' section in the Brecon Jazz press releases (see earlier post).
For information, our group of 'Jazz Club' events at the fesival (Sunday 11 August from 12.30 in the Brecon Guildhall) are listed below.
Some of the tickets are very limited and will sell out quickly.
Oh, and next 'Jazz Club' is Tues 19 March! See you there for a catch -up.
