JAZZ FESTIVAL 2020
POSTPONED
Venue: Pershore College Campus
Avonbank
WR10 3JP
The Festival’s future remains secure and we hope to re-schedule the 2020 programme and hold a festival next year on 13th-15th August 2021 at Pershore College
This will enable Pershore Jazz to continue to provide a platform for the promotion of live music and reward the loyal support and growing attendance that has been established since it’s inception in 2000 and further enhance its standing as a premier event in the UK jazz calendar
Due to the cancellation of the 19th festival due to Covid-19 a “virtual” festival was recorded in one day (with no rehearsal or re-takes) and broadcast in 3 separate sessions to give something back to our loyal festival audience
If you have not viewed these or wish to view again please see the links below & please share with friends
Judging by the number of views from these Youtube sessions the project has been a great success
