Callander Jazz and Blues Festival 2011 – 30 September to 2 October
The sixth annual Callander Jazz and Blues Festival is once again fast approaching and as always will offer a long weekend of superb music with a number of extended themes and a unique new Festival venue.
Last year, we ran out of audience space at quite a few of our headline performances which was most disappointing for the visitors concerned. This year we are doing something about the space situation by siting an outside event venue which is a first for Callander and a first for any Jazz Festival in Scotland. A theatre size Yurt, capable of seating 250 people, will be located in the grassed playing area behind Callander Primary School for the duration of the festival weekend. All seven of this years headline performances will be staged at this venue. The other Festival gigs, which will be in excess of 30, will still be staged in local hotels, pubs, restaurants and eateries in the town as in past years. The vast majority of this years live performances will take place in Callander and so we are looking forward to a very lively festival weekend.
Festival Jazz cruises
There will be two Jazz cruises in the festival programme, the first on Saturday 1 October featuring the music of the Ness River Rhythm Kings, and the second on Sunday 2 October with the ever popular Winstons Pennine Jazz on board again for the third year running. Both Jazz Cruises are on board the SS Sir Walter Scott and depart at 3 pm each day, with a cruise duration of two hours. Please note that tickets are only bookable from Lock Katrine Pier Ticket Office, tel: 01877 332000 - Ticket price is £19.50 per person, or £14.50 per person for Festival Rover ticket holders.
