Porthcawl International Jazz Festival - April 22 to 25
Buddy Greco, National Youth Jazz Orchestra, Jacqui Dankworth, Geoff Eales, Jiggs Whigham and the Syd Lawrence Orchestra are among the attractions of the 2011 Porthcawl International Jazz Festival.
Upwards of 130 musicians from 13 nations will be descending on the town over the Easter weekend (Friday 22 to Monday 25 April) for an event presenting up and coming new talent alongside some of the most established names in the jazz world.
Other attractions include New York funky jazz guitarist BD Lenz, Icelandic singer Claudia Gunners, and Polish trumpeter Tomasz Nowak from Nigel Kennedy's jazz band.
Festival Director Wayne Warlow says: "The 2011 Festival is the culmination of 10 years of continuous development and expansion.
"The fact that we have been able to attract such high calibre acts from across the globe is testament to the growing reputation of the festival throughout the jazz world.
"Porthcawl provides a perfect setting for this kind of event," he added.
"It's small enough to get around quickly and easily there's something about the seaside setting that puts people in the holiday mood."
