Fishguard Jazz and Blues festival

This year is the 8th Fishguard Jazz and Blues festival organised by Aberjazz.  Aberjazz is a volunteer organisation committed to putting on live music events in and around Fishguard.  Many of the events are free and  we try to keep our ticket prices low for the ticketed events.  Our venues are small so it is advisable to book early to make sure you get a ticket.  All the details of the festival are on our website www.aberjazz.com where you can buy tickets if you have a Paypal account.  The Jazz and Blues festival runs over the August bank holiday weekend from thursday 25th August until Monday 29th August. This year our headline act is the Kit Downes Sextet and they are playing  in Theatr Gwaun on Monday at 6pm.  Tickets are £12.  Kit Downes was nominated for a Mercury Prize for his Album Golden. John Fordham in the guardian describes his latest album , Quiet Tiger, as stronger and more edgy.  Kit Downes is a jazz pianist who is causing a great deal of interest in jazz circles and this is a really unique opportunity so see him in Fishguard.
