Mumbles Mostly Jazz & Blues Festival 2007

The Mumbles is known as the 'Gateway to Gower', Britain's first area of outstanding natural beauty, not far from Swansea, South West Wales.

This festival features several gigs spread over three days at various venues, the main one being a Marquee set up in the leafy Southend Gardens which includes a bar. Other venues include the Victoria Inn, Beaufort Arms and Mumbles Rugby and Cricket Clubs.

The line-up includes an eclectic mix, ranging from traditional jazz through to latino, funk, and gypsy jazz styles, even a Marching Jazz Band. There are blues bands as well and last year featured both those with a country-style slant and those coming from a rock perspective.

Some of this year's line-up has now been announced and features The Laurence Cottle Big Band opening the festival on Friday night, the Blues Band on Saturday 5th May and Martin Drew’s New Jazz Couriers on Sunday.

Further details will be published here when information becomes available. Tickets for the Blues Brothers should now be on sale - contact Mumbles Tourist Information (Tel: 01792 361302).
