SOCIETY

Jazz in the
open air
Over 300 people attended the seventh
Woodvale Jazz Festival at Seaview in August.
Organiser Rod Burman commented “This
year’s festival has been especially well
attended, and it would be very difficult for us
not to do it again next year.”
The evening raised additional money from the
sale of raffle tickets, with proceeds going to
various Island charities. As our photos show,
many visitors came equipped with their own
gazeboes to protect themselves from the
elements - although in the event they were not
needed as the evening’s weather was perfect.
Music came courtesy of Island-based jazz
band The Unity Stompers.
