The annual Isle of Bute Jazz Festival has become a well respected event, and its reputation as Scotland’s Premier Traditional Jazz Gathering is well deserved after 21 successful years.

In 2009 the organisers will be presenting the Isle of Bute Jazz Festival with a difference as they are including more contemporary jazz, folk, rhythm and blues which will appeal to a wider audience and attract also younger people, who will all be encouraged to “Come Home to Bute” for the 2009 gathering.
