Due to a reduction in funding the Festival team has had to make some difficult decisions to reduce costs. Even with some very generous support from the team and supporters, covering travel and accommodation costs for the larger bands was going to be difficult.

But we've still got an amazing festival to look forward to! Beginning with the opening show at the Grand with award winning Scottish vocalist Georgia Cécile on Friday April 29th, with Alison Rayner Quintet and K.O.G. (Kweku of Ghana) on Saturday 30th April - International Jazz Day.

On Sunday we have a feast of live music around the fine pubs and eateries throughout the Ribble Valley including Arthur Geldard Quartet and Women in Jazz at the Spread Eagle Sawley, a live blues mini fest, and the finale on Monday is the Northern Jazz Orchestra with the Clitheroe Royal Grammar School Swing Band.

The revised Freedom Ticket prices are:

£45 members
£55 non members
£15 for under 25 years
