Pembrokeshire Jazz n Blues Festival 2007
Friday August 24th - Sunday 26th

The Pembrokeshire Jazz n Blues Festival 2007 takes place in and around Fishguard, Pembrokeshire - an extremely picturesque town in one of the UK’s most breathtakingly beautiful counties and the only coastal National Park area in the country.

This year the festival is being held over the end of August bank holiday weekend (24th-26th).

The festival, now in its fourth year, is part of a jigsaw that is bringing renewed optimism to the area as the enthusiasm and talents of the community are blended with the experience and expertise of top quality performers far and wide. The rich programme embraces all that is good about jazz and blues in the UK, bringing notable performers to this unspoilt corner of Wales, not only to perform to our highly appreciative audiences, but also to work alongside the community in a series of workshops catering for musicians of all ages and abilities.
