Brecon Jazz
Every year the historic market town of Brecon stages one of Britain’s most stimulating jazz festivals. HSBC Brecon Jazz promises an exciting programme this year, with more than 80 events and free street entertainment over the three days .
The full programme will be announced soon, but there are already rumours that Van Morrison will be joining the line-up of jazz greats, blues legends and emerging young Welsh and British talent. Last year’s stars included Mose Allison, Ray Gelato, Humphrey Lyttleton, Andy Sheppard, the Mingus Dynasty Band and Jools Holland with his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra.
Brecon Jazz is inviting people to share their memories of festivals past as the event celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
Organisers are asking fans, visitors, musicians, volunteers, residents and anybody else who's been involved in the past, to send us their memories, photographs and general nostalgia.
Maybe you were there for the first festival in 1984? Or maybe you have a funny story to tell? And if you're a musician who has played the festival, what is it that you remember about the experience?
