Swansea's Maritime Quarter will be bustling with music and entertainment this weekend as the Swansea International Jazz Festival makes a triumphant return. The festival will see jazz musicians and bands perform in some of the district's most popular bars, theatres and hotels and is taking place this Thursday, June 23 to Sunday, June 26.
This year's event has been organised by Swansea Jazz Club and Swansea Council and there will be several concerts, cruises and a host of other events and performances to feast your eyes - and ears - on across the Maritime Quarter and in Uplands too. The concert programme opens with award-winning trumpet player Bruce Adams and award-winning saxophonist Alan Barnes playing at the Garage Music Venue in Uplands, whilst the Dylan Thomas Theatre in the Maritime Quarter will play host to five concerts including Simon Spillett and his 17-piece band, aptly named Simon Spillett Big Band.
The Karen Sharp Quartet, James Taylor Quartet, Thomas Langsaw Trio, Constellation Big Band, Reed Folk Quarter and Jack Mac Funk Quintet are also among the musicians and bands performing over the festival weekend.
