It was always a fantastic event. I was very sad to hear that it was under threat. I can imagine it would be a huge dent in the local ecomomy if it was not supported. The greater loss would however be a cultural one. I would encourage you to please keep this event going on all its levels. The beauty of it being that there was always something for everyone.

Hence I, as a former friend, took my business elsewhere. Moreover, the selection of artists was uninspired.
I,as a member of the jazz press, was often treated churlishly by volunteer staff and , on one occasion rough-handled. Who needs that?
Nevertheless, I was saddened to hear of its demise. Suggestion for the future, hold all the events in a specially erected marquee and side stages out of town.

It is crucial that this festival remains available for audiences and musicians alike.

In my view the year gap could easily wreck the potential for a start in 2010

Don't try to appeal to too wide an audience by including non-jazz bands. Small but select is the answer.
