Barbican International Jazz and Blues Festival

last updated: Mon 17th Aug 2015

The festival started life in 2008, alongside a transatlantic yacht race, and offers jazz and blues from local, national and international acts on Plymouth's Barbican.

The festival hosts music all over the historic quayside quarter including venues and eateries and creating a great atmosphere for all the family and highlighting the heritage of the Barbican.

Organisers announced there would be no event in 2013 due to a lack of public funding, and then made a comeback in 2014, and announced another year off in 2015.
