Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival 2008

25 July-3 August

Mid-life crisis dealt with in a cool, chilled-out way. That’s right, Edinburgh ’s Jazz and Blues Festival is turning 30 in summer 2008. And as usual you can expect long, mellow baselines and smooth but deeply funky improvisations. For other kinds of spontaneous entertainment, see our Edinburgh Festivals Guide 2008.

The Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival is the longest running jazz festival in the UK . The festival has a truly international line-up, reflected by the massive 50,000 attendees who show their appreciation by flocking to Scotland’s capital city. New Orleans, Paris, and Gothenburg just some of the visiting artists’ homes. Intimate venues, contrasted with the bigger venues, help to give you a variety of experiences from just one Festival.

Are you calling Edinburgh home for a short-term stay, business travel or corporate relocation over the Edinburgh festival period? Your own Edinburgh serviced apartment could give you the personalised environment that makes any break or business trip enjoyable and convenient. Complete with fitted kitchen, lounge and dining area, your private Edinburgh apartment offers the best way to fall in love with Edinburgh by living in it as its residents do.

Outdoor concerts in the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival 2008 will give you a great excuse to russle up a quick picnic and head out to Edinburgh’s green spaces, like Princes Street Gardens.
