Jazz fans are promised a vibrant mix of music in the coming week
|
Eastbourne has launched its first ever jazz festival, which promises to offer a vibrant mix of music throughout the next week.
Local jazz diva Liane Carroll is set to headline the event, which runs every evening until Sunday, 20 June.
Festival-goers will also be able to enjoy a free jazz party on Wednesday.
Organisers are hoping to attract both local jazz fans and tennis visitors attending the international championships in the East Sussex town.
The Jazz Fest is being jointly run by Dukes Jazz Bar and Eastbourne Borough Council.
Entertainment will be on offer at either the bar in Carlisle Road or at the seafront bandstand.
Jazz musicians will also be entertaining tennis fans every morning from Tuesday to Saturday at the Hastings Direct International Championships.
Craig Brown of Dukes Jazz Bar said: "We opened our Jazz Bar just three months ago and were so delighted with the response, that we decided to launch Eastbourne's first ever Jazz Fest.
"This year we've put an excellent bill together and next year look forward to an even bigger and better festival."
