We thought the Ventnor jazz festival was the best ever this year. We loved the more compact range of venues, the jazz was inspiring and gave us great buzz of pleasure at the end of what has been a long winter. Ventnor as usual had on its best frock. We are buying the very early bird tickets for next year this week. Loved it!
