Blue plaques for unsung jazz venues

Jazz lovers are being asked to nominate unsung British live venues for a new heritage project, called the (Kind Of) Blue Plaque scheme.

Organisers of the Brecon Jazz Festival have set up nominations online and will award one blue plaque a year to a former or current venue.

The public is asked to suggest venues associated with legendary performers or having a pivotal role in British jazz.

The initiative marks the 50th anniversary of Miles Davis' celebrated Kind of Blue album.

The winner will be announced just before the start of this year's Brecon Jazz Festival on August 7 to 9.


See www.breconjazz.org for more details and read the full story on the BBC News website.
