GUILDHALL – @Brecon Jazz Club-Monthly & Festival 2024-25
 

GUILDHALL

The Guildhall (Council) Theatre is a delightful and impressive building – a blend of the civic and the iconic, occupying an absolutely central space in the town. The perfect venue for a jazz concert, with an intimacy for performers with audience – and raked seating to make watching and participating just right. The splendid Guildhall will host our headline performances on Saturday and Sunday, special jazz exhibitions, and a series of vocal and instrumental workshops. A particular theme is ‘Wellbeing for All’ through music…
Workshops will take place on Friday at noon, and on Sunday morning 11am, 1pm & 1.30pm (plus Sunday at the Muse). Our Jazz exhibition is launched to music at 2.15pm on Friday and then open throughout the weekend except for workshop times. This venue is fully accessible, including wheelchair access.

“The beauty of Brecon is the sheer variety of music on offer, covering all jazz styles from trad to the avant garde. Also the way that the Festival takes over the whole town still makes it something truly special” Jazz Mann 2008

"Whatever your strategy, Brecon Jazz delivers, thanks to its geography and programming"John L Walters. The Guardian 2011

"Yes, it’s had its ups and downs, every bit as dramatic as the Beacons which rise above it, but the Brecon Jazz Festival has learned some tough survival skills as a result".  Peter Bacon, UK Jazz News 2018

"Virtual BJF2020 - Considering the obstacles associated with the pandemic, it was the triumph of organisation and technical expertise over limitation – so much so that while one might have wanted the real thing, its substitute may well develop a life of its own".  Nigel Jarrett, Wales Arts Review 2020

"The classic Brecon weekend is 9-11 August but there are several other excellent events around the festival this year including family jazz and dance on the first weekend and a film and jazz focus on the last". Tim Dickeson, Jazzwise 2024
