Introduction

The 2023 Watford Jazz Junction music festival celebrated the influence of the Caribbean on UK jazz with a fabulous line-up of musicians who headed to town.

​

Our opening night featured an infectious mix of soul, reggae and jazz with singers Omar & Zara McFarlane at the Watford Palace Theatre.

​

We then moved to the Pump House for 2 days with shows from Xhosa Cole, Emma Rawicz, Cleveland Watkiss, and a live broadcast from Jazz FM.

​

Our final day saw a free-to-attend celebration of music across 5 pub venues as part of our festival within a festival: Jazz Steps Around Oxhey Village.

​

Our festival rounded off with another free performance from global steel-pan star Leon Foster Thomas who played with his band on Watford Heath on Sunday 21 May at 5pm.

​

There was also a Jazz Workshop for Young Ones and a special Prosecco Jazz Brunch hosted by Ruth Fisher.

​

It was all awesome... :-)
