A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the 33rd Birmingham, Solihull & Sandwell Jazz Festival last month – whether as a musician, venue, sponsor, volunteer or simply by turning up and enjoying some great music.
In the space of 10 days, we presented 225 performances – 212 of them free admission – in 99 venues across Birmingham, Solihull and the borough of Sandwell, featuring 296 musicians in 81 bands.
And guess what – next year we’ll be doing it all again! We’ve been forced to put it back a week from the dates previously advertised due to the football World Cup being extended further into July, but make sure to keep 20-29th July 2018 free for the 34th Birmingham, Solihull & Sandwell Jazz Festival.
And in the mean time be sure to keep up to date with plans for next year and the odd special event from Big Bear Music on our website, our Facebook page and Twitter. And if you’ve got a minute, be sure to fill out our Festival Survey
