Pure Events Marlborough and the Marlborough District Council are excited to be bringing back Southern Jam Youth Jazz Festival! Not only does this one of a kind event provide a wonderful opportunity for young musicians to compete, perform and learn from other well respected musicians, it also offers the community some great nights out around our region to experience some top quality jazz, along with a Finale Gala Concert featuring these talented youngsters. Also with thanks to our supporting sponsors KBB Music.

The Finale Gala Concert held at the ASB Theatre is where we will showcase all the participating schools, the winners of the competition and The All Stars Band, who will perform alongside our prestigious judges, featuring Dr Rodger Fox, Dr Dave Wilson and Erna Ferry. This band is comprised of the top achieving students who rehearse together with the Judges to bring a unique experience for both the students and the audience. Visit www.asbtheatre.com, www.eventfinda.co.nz or The Theatre Box Office for tickets. Tickets always book well to this event so don't miss out - secure yours today. Early Bird tickets are now on sale until 1st July.

There will also be numerous performances around the region at some of our wonderful cafe's, pubs and restaurants - the programme will be listed on our facebook page and will be attached as a photo here when the schedule is ready.
