An extraordinary and totally unique event—a Jazz Festival which presents the best jazz you can hear anywhere in Scotland in the most unusual, atmospheric and inspirational venues.

Watch a video introduction to the festival

Using the entire island as a backdrop you can hear world-class musicians playing a concert in a distillery filling shed, after a bird-watching walk, in the front room of Islay House or whilst sampling the home baking at Portnahaven.

"Ambience is all at a jazz festival and it is hard to imagine anywhere quite as conducive to laid back improvising as the Hebridean island of Islay ... intoxicating" - The Times
