The eclectic line-up reflects the ambitions of locally acclaimed musician Nick Dewhurst who will be directing the festival and leading the Lichfield Jazz Big Band through its new set of summer music, as we debut our Sizzlin’and Swingin’ Summer Special!
"I’ve played at the festival as an artist, and now to be directing the festival too is a real honour. I hope the programme this year has something for everyone, and I look forward to seeing people across the week at all our wonderful venues!” Nick Dewhurst, Director of the Blues & Jazz Festival 2023.
The ambitious line-up will ensure the festival makes a mark on the midlands, and indeed national, jazz scenes. The rhythms, mixed in with great vocals, guitar and sax work–means the 2023 Blues & Jazz Festival is set to be the best yet! We cant wait to welcome you!
