Would you believe the Committee is already deep into planning for June 10th – 12th 2016? Lots of new ideas coming up, and if anyone has any suggestions (other than “stop it, you fools” as we have already considered that) shoot off an e-mail to castlemainejazzfestival@gmail.com and we will take it on board.

Doug Kuhn is the current wearer of the bullet proof vest (Il Presidente), and has already whipped the committee into shape. Captain Chaos will be wrangling the bands again, and a number of expressions of interest have already been received. John Hannah, Castlemaine’s finest something or other, is in discussion with both new and existing venues. It is all shaping up to be a magnificent shambles again, and the website should go live any day now… when we get round to it.
