Gravelly voices and sandy beaches at the Bude Jazz Festival

England: 8 June 2007

Some of Europe's finest freeform musicians will be descending on Cornwall this summer for a festival that promises to showcase the very best in contemporary jazz.

From August 25th to September 1st 2007, the annual Bude Jazz Festival rolls into its 20th year with a bang - and crashing cymbals will be accompanied by husky singing and the blast of countless saxophones!

Scheduled to perform in Bude this year are a host of international acts, including the Oriental Jazz Band from Holland, the New Orleans Delight from Denmark, Marilyn Keller from the US, Matthias Seuffert from Germany and the UK's own Annie Hawkins.

Performers will take centre stage at a wide array of venues from intimate restaurants and crowded pubs to expansive sports halls.

And if you're planning on bringing the family over to enjoy the cultural extravaganza, you may want to pack the bucket and spade as well.

As a picturesque resort town, Bude boasts a huge expanse of coastline on its doorstep and your kids won't want to miss out on building a sandcastle or two on Summerleaze beach.
