Alford Jazz Festival 8th - 22nd of July 2009
The eleventh annual Alford Jazz Festival marked a change to the normal format with events being spread over a two week period (July 8th – 22nd) rather than a single weekend. This allowed for a more extensive and varied line-up with the aim to give local residents and visitors to this part of Lincolnshire the opportunity to experience more music.
There were different styles of jazz so there was something for everyone. The standard of musicianship wascbe of the highest order.
