Congratulations on your first 10 years.

The Rye Jazz and Blues festival has become a permanent fixture in my diary for the August Bank holiday weekend.

The team of Ian, Vicki, Kate, and everyone involved are so professional. As a patron and past sponsor, you are not just made to feel welcome but part of the ‘family’.

Together with some of my favourite artists, such as Emeli Sande, Imelda May, Seth Lakeman, Rumer, Eric Bibb, and Jo Harman I have, over the years been privileged to see a vast array of fabulous internationally renowned artists perform in Rye.

I look forward the next ten years.
