CHELTENHAM Jazz Festival is looking for local performers to take part in the 2017 Cheltenham Jazz Festival …around town programme.

From acoustic singer-songwriters to full blown big bands, dancers, artists and street performers, all are invited to apply to take part in one of the UK’s best-loved jazz festivals.

Performances take place over the May Bank Holiday weekend across a variety of outdoor pop up locations in the town centre, outdoor stages in the town centre, pubs and clubs, and on the Festival site.

Festival Director Ian George said: "…around town offers a fantastic platform to showcase your work and is a great way to get yourself noticed - jazz artists, agents and promoters are around morning and night taking in the jazz vibe over the festival period.”

The Festival will pay a fixed contribution to expenses of £125 and acts will be listed in the …around town flyer and on the Cheltenham Festivals website.
