Welcome to the 30th Swanage Jazz Festival. Given that the future of the 2019 Festival was at one stage in some doubt, we are delighted to bring you a packed programme full of quality and variety.

For those who have been coming year-on-year, you will notice one or two changes. The artistic programme is slightly smaller than in previous years – only two days this year. And we have opted for The Mowlem Theatre rather than marquees on Sandpit Field. But having only picked up the task in mid-January, it was necessary to slim back a bit this year so we can sustain the Festival for the longer term. We have also brought all the venues closer together which we hope will be good for the Town and your stamina.

In spite of this we are delighted to bring you some top names and old favourites including Gilad Atzmon, Nigel Price, Derek Nash, John Maddocks, Mike Denham, David Newton and Art Themen along with some fast-rising stars like Sara Dowling and The Dime Notes.

Some of the names in this year’s programme may be unfamiliar to you. The South West is blessed with some superb jazz talent and we have taken the opportunity this year to give them a platform. Check out Ian Ellis, Tom Waters, Andy Urquhart and Thokozile to name but four. You won’t be disappointed.

The new Festival management has some big boots to fill. It’s slightly daunting to follow in the footsteps of Fred Lindop, Mel Norris, John James and their colleagues and also Nigel Price. We hope we can live up to the sterling work they did and also last as long. We are grateful for their advice and valuable support. Thanks also to Cllr Mike Bonfield, Cllr Gail Green and Visitor Services Manager, Culvin Milmer whose enthusiasm for the Festival brought our new team together. We are always looking for more help, so if you have something to offer and would like to join us, please drop us an email.

Meantime we hope you will come along and support the 2019 Festival and that you find great music to enjoy and inspire. Your support will help us sustain and develop Swanage Jazz Festival in the years to come.
