MOSTLY JAZZ is MOSELEY MAGIC:

Your Web Editor, Dick Jones, took this photo of Craig Charles introducing the Sun Ra Arkestra at the Mostly Jazz Festival. This is just one of the many photos already up on the Flickr photo sharing site. The festival itself was a fabulous event with a near perfect blend of national, international and local acts, and of course the Sun Ra Arkestra was absolute magic, even though I have to say the £1 non-refundable deposit on the beer glasses was taking the biscuit somewhat.

Let's hope this years Festival the first of many more to come.
