Policy Statement

This event is being organised by a local committee of musicians and jazz fans.

Our aim is to promote jazz on the Isle of Wight. Members of the committee will not receive any financial reward. Inspected accounts will be made available on request.

The committee will cover the cost of the main venues and headline acts. This will be funded by sponsorship, ticket sales and other fund-raising activities.

Any subsequent profits will go towards funding future events.

We will encourage other performances during the period. However, we will not act as agents. It will be the responsibility of the performers and venues to negotiate between themselves.

"Another great Festival has come and gone. Our 3 days just seemed to fly by. What good music throughout and all of the musicians put such thought and effort into their programmes. It was a joy to be there, so thank you and all of your "little helpers" for making it such a success. This years Festival will be a hard act to follow next year".

"Hi Jim,
Congratulations! You did a fantastic job and the festival had a great vibrant feel! Big thanks for allowing me to bring Velocity over, it was a pleasure to play. The Alleycat's gig was great fun. I hope we get to do it again sometime."
