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 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 and a donation to charity (IW Mountbatten Hospice).
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.

What a great Day 3 and a great weekend.
Georgia Mancio's trio at lunchtime, then Sax Appeal got a standing ovation from full house at Riverside.Amy Roberts with the Unity Stompers brought a big crowd to the Minster, and then Martin Taylor and Alan Barnes provided a technically superb and calming end to the proceedings.
All of the fringe gigs were very well supported too.
The aim was to bring top music to Newport and bring people and money into the town - no corporate stuff here, no wages to pay, just money into local businesses and musicians.
Job done!
