Scarborough Jazz Festival

Posted by Howells 20 June 2006

I was knocked out by the amazing music at last year’s Scarborough Jazz Festival. It’s held in the Victorian Spa Complex - a stunning setting looking out over sand and sea towards imposing cliffs and Scarborough Castle. Time for a paddle and fish and chips between acts! Great atmosphere and value. Can’t wait for this year (15-17 September) with Georgie Fame, Bobbie Wellins, Tina May, Scott Hamilton, Ian Shaw, Guy Barker, Norma Winstone, compere Alan Barnes et al.
