JAZZ & BLUES 2021

Enjoying Jazz
VIRTUALLY!
Longstanding Jazz and Blues fans will
recall that the planning for the festival
was close to preparing for a military
manoeuvre.
There was the securing of tickets, booking
of hotel rooms as close to venue as possible,
which meant months in advance. The right
wardrobe which was generally casual chic,
fashionable yet comfortable enough to take
you through eight hours of sitting on your
blanket on the ground or standing shoulder
to shoulder with thousands of other fans,
unless you had bought a VIP ticket which
might include chairs. There was the timing
of arrival to avoid the inevitable traffic jam,
ensure parking at a reasonable distance and
securing space that allowed a good view
of the stage while also with a reasonably
clear access to the food court, bars and rest
rooms. For some it might also mean toting
your liquor of choice and the attendant
paraphernalia. Binoculars might be handy
in the event you failed to get a good spot.
In the days of Cinnamon Hill Golf Course, it
was prudent to prepare for cool even cold
weather – blankets, comforters, thick, warm
clothing, and even raincoats and umbrellas.
Most of the time the evening was cool, and
balmy with caressing tropical breezes but
this was never guaranteed.
