Online Weekender from Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival keeps the rhythms alive

The 2020 Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival may have gone the same way as the city’s other landmark events this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but thanks to some quick thinking by the event’s organisers, Capital music lovers will still be able to enjoy the rhythm of the blues.

Producers of the festival, due to run from 17-26 July, have arranged that until Sunday, there will be an opportunity to relive The Scottish Blues Weekend, which took place earlier this year. For the next five days you can watch it from the comfort of your very own sofa.

Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival producer Fiona Alexander recalls, “The Weekender was swamped with highlights. It was curated by Jed Potts, Nicole Smit and Sandy Tweeddale and each presents a knockout concert under their own name.
