After the resounding success of the 2012 Festival we are delighted to bring
you news of the 2013 Festival, which will be taking place from Friday 25th –
Sunday 27th October.
Sandhill House B&B and the self-catering Tamar Orchard Barn are just about as central as it can get to the fantastic venues where the 'show will go on', including Gunnislake station being just 5 minutes walk away. But book early because this is an increasingly popular national event, with fans coming from far and wide.
All three headliners have now been announced – the Jacqui
Dankworth Trio will be playing in the Old Chapel on Saturday 26th October, and
on Sunday 27th October, also in the Old Chapel, Jean Toussaint and two of the
late Abram Wilson’s critically acclaimed young rhythm section, plus Jean
Toussaint’s regular bass player, present ‘Saxophone Giants: A Tribute to Jazz’s
Greatest Saxophonists’.
Meanwhile, the opening gig on Friday 25th October in the Old Chapel is a little different: up and coming young trumpeter Matthew Halsall is visiting us with his quintet, which includes a full-size classical harp! Tickets for all these events are now on sale.
There will also be jazz and blues events in every other venue in the village,
including workshops for all ages, a gospel choir, rhythm ‘n’ blues and swing
bands, blues soloists, dancers, stalls, excellent catering including jazz cream
teas – and much much more. So many things will be happening that we strongly
suggest you keep your eyes on the website as it is updated with the 2013 events
in the near future!
