Something old, something new, great value and variety for all ages, each year in the Capital of Jazz of the Deep South. Make a holiday of it – adventure into the world of jazz music and the Isle of Wight.


“In short, the festival rocked but in a jazz way; no pretence; all egos were safely secured at the door and the line between Artist and Audience was blurred and that was a good thing. Roll on 2009!” Aramar, who came to our festival for the first time this year with his friend.
