2011 Photo Gallery


Here are the first images of the 2011 Jazz festival.

The Jazz Parade through Rothesay is a Saturday morning fixture at the Festival. Musicians and the public are marshalled through the town, led by Jenny Brown. The Jazz Brolly competition provides a real spectacle for the crowd.

Here are some more Jazz parade images from Zak Harrison, a local photographer.
Zak has a gallery of his Bute images here : http://www.pbase.com/zak355/daily

This may be a Jazz Festival but we’re not averse to a bit of Folk in the mix. This was a busy Islander bar in Rothesay with George McDonald and some other local musicians having a free form session.

More photos from Saturday.
Hermie Longalong and his band at the Victoria, Bobby Wishart at the Esplanade and Penman’s Jazz band at the Pavilion. Not forgetting steward Mike Spear and another Jazzy waistcoat (see previous pics for another)
