Festival 2008
APRIL 2008
JAZZ & ALL THAT (Welsh) LITERATURE
Greats of the Jazz scene, with a touch of acting/literature, will soon be in Porthcawl.
The annual Jazz Festival, as last year, will cover the whole weekend.
From Friday 11th April until Sunday 13th April 2008 at the Grand Pavilion, Porthcawl.
Porthcawl, for those of who haven't spent time here,
is a pretty and friendly, sea-side town situated about half way between Cardiff and Swansea.
For the 7th consecutive year, and following our hugely successful Festival last year, with the legendary Cleo Laine & John Dankworth, we expect high demand for tickets at the Grand Pavilion on the seafront.
with the mellow voice and performance talents of Wales's very own Philip Madoc.
WITH GUEST SAXOPHONIST BOBBY WELLINS
On Saturday, the great trombonist Chris Barber and
The Big Chris Barber Band top the star-studded bill.
JACQUI DANKWORTH - OPENS 'SATURDAY STARDUST' EVENING EVENT
Following in the footsteps of her famous parents,
Cleo Laine & John Dankworth,
who captivated Porthcawl's audience last year,is
Jacqui Dankworth, and Friends.
I'm sure Jacqui won't mind if we say she will most definitely
add to the glamour as well as the talent of our weekend.
SUNDAY B-B-Q with 'MIDNIGHT SPECIAL'
Family Bar-B-Q Brunch, and liquid sustenance, all accompanied by 'Midnight Special'.
With names and events like these we look forward to an exciting weekend for Porthcawl Jazz fans.
