Get ready for the Fringe…
Kindly supported by Stuart Holmes
The Budvar Cheltenham Jazz Festival is once again delighted to host a huge fringe programme so kindly supported by Stuart Holmes.
The vast majority of artists featured in this programme come from within a 50 mile radius of Cheltenham making this a celebration of locally produced music within the confines of the international festival. All artists are giving up their time free so and you can enjoy this incredibly diverse line-up involving hundreds of musicians in over 20 venues without it costing you a penny in entry fees. Outside on the streets you’ll also be able to see Youngblood Brass Band, Cleve Samba School, 100’s of dancers and special busking spots (follow the footprints!) on the Promenade.
All kinds of music
The Fringe is preparing to host music from all kinds of bands including performances of Jazz standards, original compositions, swing, funk, vocal jazz and much more! The program will also feature the students from The Birmingham Conservatoire Jazz course.
All events are free!
All events are free and a variety of venues are involved, ranging from local pubs and bars where you can have the benefit of jazz while you drink and restaurants where jazz can be enjoyed while you dine.
The Jazz Marquee sponsored by Budvar returns and will be hosting events throughout the weekend. The stage will provide a platform for local performers with highlights including the Budvar Prize winner’s performance and Jazz It Up.
