Newcastle Jazz Festival

Once a year people gather from all over Australia and from around the world to attend the Newcastle Jazz Festival, held annually each year in Newcastle, NSW Australia. An exceptionally appealing array of musicians, bands and orchestras are performing at this year's Festival, which will be held on Friday 26, Saturday 27th & Sunday 28 August 2011 Up to five performances will be held simultaneously in the reception rooms at the wonderful Art Deco Newcastle City Hall. 43 Bands will provide 72 Hours of Jazz and Blues Music. With such choice, people will probably have some difficulty deciding which performances to attend! The City Hall cafe, serving lunch, morning and afternoon teas and dinner, will be open during the Festival. Car drivers to the Festival can easily find all-day free parking within a block or two of City Hall...and for those planning to take a train from Sydney (enjoying as a bonus, the great scenery along the way), Newcastle City Hall is just a 5 minute stroll from Civic railway station. Weekend and Session Passes will be available at the door, or tickets can be pre-purchased from Ticketek at the website www.ticketek.com.au Enquires can be made by email:    enquirieshjc@gmail.com Phone - Susan 0249 422 906 0249 422 906 The full program is at the website www.newcastlejazz.com.au
