Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes? 👀

Here’s Bruce doing what he does best at the Civic for the final night of the festival, from the stage — keeping everything Jammy, right through to the very end of the night...

A fitting close to a fantastic festival! ✨

As the 28th festival draws to a close I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge what a fantastic weekend it has been. 5 days to remember and reflect on as one of the best festivals so far!!
We are extremely thankful for the wonderful town we live in that is able to be the stage to host this annual event yet again!
There are so many people to thank,the list is endless!
First and foremost to the wide range of musicians, without you there would be no festival, to our festival goers, you were on tip top form as ever, the OFFICIAL festival venues and their professional operators, your commitment to the ethos of the festival which has always been about nurturing and maintaining the local hospitality industry within our town and keeping it alive; the brainchild of my late father Phillip Martin! Your bar staff are unsung heroes…. It’s not an easy gig for them!
Thank you to Sergeant Matt Stonier and his team of local police officers and those from further afield. You have worked extremely hard all weekend we appreciate your professionalism and commitment to keeping everyone safe yet allowing them to have fun.
Thank you to all of our festival sponsors this year.
Finally, thank you to our team who make it all happen and work on the event from the summer months right through to the final day of the festival, too many to mention but you know who you are and without you I wouldn’t be able to keep my dads legacy alive. Forever grateful!
It’s been epic and we look forward to what the 29th Nantwich Jazz Blues and Music Festival in 2027 has in store! Watch this space…..
Thank you and good night.

Special shoutout to their youngest member back on stage — look how he’s grown! Pure festival magic. 🥁✨

Vox Americana rocked the Bowling Green on Sunday! 🎸
Fronted by American singer-songwriter Helen Walford, this Alt Americana band from Leek, Staffordshire, brings influences like Lucinda Williams, Tom Waits, and Gillian Welch to life. They focus on original material with a few carefully chosen covers, performing across the Midlands and beyond.

A soulful set full of raw emotion — perfect festival vibes!

Nearly Dan lit up the Civic last night! 🎹

Less tribute and more homage, Nearly Dan is the saviour for growing legions of Steely Dan fans craving those meticulously crafted grooves and allusive lyrical style of Donald Fagen & Walter Becker. Their approach is faithful yet relaxed — as tight as the namesakes — infused with unique spirit and spontaneous humour in every concert.

A must-see for true fans of that sophisticated sound!
