The Jazz Scene in the UK is without doubt one of, if not the most vibrant jazz scenes in the world. Each week around the UK there are hundreds of gigs and annually well over fifty festivals. Quite remarkably, each festival has been able to develop its own identity and special features. Building on the popularity of big bands from the 1940s and 1950s the Wigan International Jazz Festival has earned a reputation for featuring the best from the big band world. The programme for this year’s Festival - the 24th to date - focuses on the very best in UK Big Bands as well as offering high calibre smaller ensembles.

Whatever your tastes, this Festival has something for everyone. It has been designed to be pure entertainment from the start of Day 1 to the very last note on Day 8. We look forward to seeing you there.

You are in for a great week!

Dr Ian Darrington MBE
Festival Director
