Bude Jazz Festival

The music on offer ranges from blues and ragtime to mainstream and bop with an especially rich choice of old-style New Orleans and classic jazz. Alongside Britain’s finest jazz musicians we will be featuring quality acts from overseas, and many more new young musicians from the international scene.

Come and go as you please, using your stroller ticket to visit a wide variety of jazz sessions every lunchtime, afternoon and evening from midday on 28 August to late at night on 3 September.

There are fourteen different indoor venues, most within easy walking distance of each other; all are linked by continuous bus services, free of charge to Festival ticket-holders. These venues include pubs, hotels, small halls and restaurants – comfortable and informal surroundings that help to create Bude Jazz Festival’s friendly and relaxed atmosphere. In addition to good listening facilities, there will be a dedicated dance marquee, offering swing, jive and New Orleans bands from 12.30pm till 11.00pm at night.

There is also a late night jazz club featuring a jam session, courtesy of The Waterfront Centre, whom we are delighted to welcome back as a major venue at the Festival.

A stroller ticket will give you admission to see all the musicians listed on the official site (a full week's stroller is £105 instead of £115 until 1st March 2010).
