Be part of the Jazz Festival
Do you perform regularly in your local pub?
Together with Official Beer of the Festival Budweiser Budvar and the voice of the British pub trade, the Morning Advertiser we are once again launching our search to find the very best pub jazz band in the UK and offering you the opportunity to perform at the Budvar Cheltenham Jazz Festival alongside the world’s greatest jazz musicians.
Whether you are a solo performer or part of a big band, play soul or fusion, jazz rap or New Orleans classics we want to hear from you. All you have to do is get the name of your local landlord and then send a sample CD into us.
The shortlisted will perform in front of a panel of leading jazz experts and national critics at a special event where the overall winner will be announced.
Winners will receive an amazing opportunity to play a slot at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival in the Budvar Marquee and then go on to perform on the main stage at the brand new Pub in the Park Festival in London’s famous Greenwich Park (September).
How to enter
- download the entry form, fill in your details
- include a short sample track on CD (no more than ten minutes)
- include the name of your local pub
Send the completed form to Philip Woods, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, 109 Bath Road, Cheltenham, GL53 7LS no later than Tuesday 31 March 2009.
