Brecon Jazz on TV

Highlights of this year's Brecon Jazz Festival will be shown on the Welsh-language channel S4C, which has exclusive TV rights to the event.

There'll be three programmes, starting on Saturday 16 August with a documentary celebrating the festival's 25th anniversary.

That's followed on Saturday 23 August with highlights of the Welsh artists appearing at this year's event, including Burum, Osian Roberts and Huw Warren.

Then on Saturday 30 August there'll be a programme featuring some of this year's international headliners, including Maceo Parker, Joan Armatrading and Cerys Matthews.

The programmes are likely to be an hour long with transmission times to be confirmed - see www.s4c.co.uk for details and tune in on Sky Digital channel 134 if you're outside Wales.

Meanwhile BBC Wales will show an hour long package of highlights from its archive of Brecon Jazz coverage on the digital channel BBC 2W on Tuesday 5 August at 9pm (Sky Digital channel 991 outside Wales).
