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.

The weather is warming up and so are our very exciting plans for this year’s eighth annual Rye international jazz and blues festival over the bank holiday weekend from Saturday 24th to Monday 26th August. Save the dates in your diary and be sure to head to the beautiful and historic town of Rye in East Sussex to soak up the electric atmosphere of this wonderful medieval town and experience the fun and excitement of one of the best boutique music festivals of its kind in the UK.
