Let the Jazz Begin

The breakfast launch was today at 8am, the crowd was full of dignitaries such as the Lord Mayor, the venue - Wine Republic, was a wonderful place to start this year's festival.

Speeches came from City Leader Mike Whitby, new festival Patron Digby Fairweather and Lord Mayor Chauhdry Rashid, all of whom spoke passionately and were lovely to talk to over some orange juice and croissants.

Dixieland Crackerjacks played outside to the morning crowd at Centenary Square and Tipitina did a fantastic set inside. If you do get a chance to see the Crackerjacks or Tipitina in the small unique venues that this festival offers, don't pass on the opportunity.

Just a reminder, Debbie Jones, frontwoman of Tipitina is holding two choirworkshops tommorow.
