60 incredible events

Hear it, see it, taste it, drink it, feel it, love it!

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 2010 Woollaston Nelson Jazz & Blues Festival - a celebration of world class jazz and blues set in our own world class Nelson region.

The 2010 festival brings exciting additions with the inclusion of blues and an extended eight days of free and ticketed events.

Some of the most talented musicians from New Zealand and around the world will showcase their music at a variety of venues and times from street and park performances to bars, wineries, cafes, concert halls and restaurants.

Headline acts include Emma Pask, Joe Robinson, Carol Storey & Torch Songs, Fiona Pears, Billy TJ & friends from USA - Edna Love, Diana Harris, Robbie McGregor Soper and much, much more.

More than 60 events over eight days - it’s a packed programme! The ‘must see and do’ activity guide has been included in the programme again this year.

It’s about the attractions of Nelson - there’s something for everyone from accommodation options, arts and jewellery, galleries and luxurious boutiques, to museums and kayaking at the Abel Tasman.

Without the generosity of our sponsors, supporters and over 25,000 spectators, this festival would not be possible. Thank you all. We invite you to enjoy the 2010 Woollaston Nelson Jazz & Blues Festival!
