Brecon Jazz - Jools sells out
Promoters of Brecon Jazz 2007 say tickets are selling fast, with Jools Holland's Friday night concert in the Watton Marquee being the first to sell out.
Festival Director Jim Smith says: "We have been really pleased with the ticket take-up so far, and really encouraged by the online sales, considering this only went live for the first time this year. Let’s hope it will be another vintage Brecon Jazz."
The Brecon box office opened in the middle of May, and a third of tickets sold so far have been via the website www.breconjazz.co.uk.
Headliners at this year’s Brecon include first-time Artist–in-Residence Joe Lovano, and there are eight UK exclusives, including two-time Grammy nominee Jessica Williams; saxophonist Andy Sheppard with pianist Rita Marcotulli; and the first major festival pairing of pianist Jason Rebello and saxophonist Gilad Atzmon.
To book tickets, find further information, or get the latest jazz news, go to www.breconjazz.co.uk or call 01874 611622 (Mon-Sat 10am – 5pm).
Read my own Brecon Jazz preview article on the BBC Mid Wales website where you can also hear interviews with Jim Smith, chairman Walter Dickie, and a sneak preview of Eddie Parker's African jazz workshops with local children.
Look out too for some Brecon Jazz specials on the digital TV channel BBC Four in the autumn.
