UK Jazz Festivals 2019 |
Here is a list of 2019 UK Jazz Festivals with links to their websites. Some Festivals have still to give details of their arrangements and programme.
There are also 'Fringe' events taking place at some Festivals but we are unable to include them here. Hopefully there has been liaison between Fringe bands / musicians and main Festival organisers to include Fringe events on the Festival websites.
If you know of other UK Jazz Festivals taking place this year, please contact us with the link to the Festival website.
Festival booking scams: A number of Festivals have discovered scams in which fake booking agents have been inviting musicians to play at Festivals under false pretences. Cheltenham Jazz Festival website, for example, carries this notice:
'We’ve recently been made aware of an attempted email phishing scam to jazz musicians in the United States claiming to be from Cheltenham Jazz Festival. The emails claim to be an invitation from Ian George (Director of Festivals) to perform at the Festival, conditional on the artists paying for visa costs. It includes information cut and pasted from the Festival website and offers a generous fee for multiple performances plus flights, accommodation and other benefits. It seems these emails are primarily being sent to databases of musicians in the USA. The emails are sent from various Gmail addresses and include an American phone number. All genuine festival offer emails are sent from cheltenhamfestivals.com email addresses, and our offices are based in the UK..... If you have received an email fitting this description, do not enter into correspondence and please do not make any payments ....' (Click here for the full text).
