Rye was once again alive with top class live music and carnival fun over the festival weekend. Audiences were treated to the very best of Jazz, Blues, Swing, Funk, Folk and Latin music. There was a real party atmosphere as music lovers, families and friends partied to the free music at the Kino outdoor stage, the Georgian Butter Market and various street and fringe venues throughout the town bathed in glorious sunshine.

Rye international jazz and blues festival is delighted to announce two exceptional and truly unique concerts at the iconic and historic setting of Winchester Cathedral in Hampshire this late October. Fifteen centuries of English history lie behind the massive Cathedral you see today. It stands at the heart of historic Winchester, once the seat of Anglo-Saxon and Norman royal power, on the site of an early Christian church. It’s been a place of worship ever since. The magnificence of the Cathedral make this a perfect venue to hold these two unmissable concerts.
