Weeks later, we're still riding the wave of incredible energy from our performers and audiences on Day 3 of #TownsiteJazzFestival 2024. We'll be sharing lots more photos concert-by-concert very soon!

We brought the final concert of our 2024 festival to remote #LasquetiIsland. Quite an adventure by land and sea, but so incredibly worth it. The hospitality and support of residents there was remarkable, embracing the Ken Lister Trio and support staff like long-lost friends.

Did you know? The 120+ rainsticks featured in the finale of Friday’s concert had a special DIY touch. Each one was uniquely handmade during a morning workshop led by Celso Machado, where students learned to craft their own using polyfoam pipe wraps, toothpicks & popcorn kernels.
