We’re welcoming the Birmingham, Sandwell & Westside Jazz Festival again this year and we can’t wait!
The festival which is in its 38th year runs from Friday 15 to Sunday 24 July.
With 19 different performances from artists both local and from as far afield as the USA at more than 10 venues spread across Sandwell – there should be something for any jazz lover!
Most performances are free to attend and many will also be live-streamed, so you can watch online if you can’t be there in person.
