Tickets & After Parties

24 June 2011

Tickets are still on sale for the festival and you can buy them here. As it is so close to the festival we are now issuing e-tickets. Limited tickets will be available on the door.

If the festival itself is not enough and you need a good boogie, why not come to one of our after parties held on each night of the festival? Friday and Saturdays after parties will be held at the Hare & Hounds in Kings Heath. The Hare & Hounds is a short distance from Moseley Park and a nice walk  on a summer’s eve.  The Bull’s Head in Moseley will host Sunday’s after party.

Friday will see a DJ set from music lover and broadcaster Gilles Peterson.

Saturday night will see Matthew Herbert take the reigns after his headlining set in Moseley Park.

On Sunday Craig Charles will take his Funk and Soul Club over the road to the Bull’s Head where you can carry on partying till the small hours with Craig and Freestyle DJ Sam Redmore.

Tickets can be bought here.

6 April 2011

Come and join us on Thursday 14 April at the Hare & Hounds to celebrate the launch of Mostly Jazz Festival 2011. A FREE taster of the treats in store at the festival this year!

Playing will be Matthew Halsall – 26 year old trumpeter, composer, arranger, DJ, producer and band leader who will also play the main stage on the festival Saturday.

Halsall picked up the trumpet at just 6 years old after being taken to a jazz gig by his parents. From the age of 14 he has toured the world.

His debut album Sending My Love was released in October 2008 on the newly formed independent jazz label Gondwana Records. The album received rave reviews and heavy airplay from the likes of Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 1), Stuart Maconie (BBC 6 Music), Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music) and Mike Chadwick (Jazz FM). He is currently recording his new album.
