I'M an ardent follower of jazz at the Marlboprough Jazz Festival. Thanks to Nick Fogg and his team. It just gets better each year.

Even with your stroller ticket you can't pack it all in, you'd need more than a weekend to get to all venues. With the hot weather again this year more relaxing was done outside the venues than within by me and my long-time friend Lyn Goodill and an ancient of days dog, Max.

In my opinion the Funky Do Das from Australia were the best and most professional band.

We all went out later to the excellent (booked) Raj's who accommodated two extras at short notice.

A lovely day was had by all and I cannot believe how clean the streets were next morning. A lot of credit to Nick Fogg again.
