The three-day jazz festival at Lichfield takes place every year at the town's rugby club. This year the Jay Phelps Quintet was one of the headliners on the Saturday night - you can see Jay himself in the grey jacket in this photo getting ready for the band's spot. I have to say that the quintet do the lot, from standards to experimental (the experimental stuff was dizzyingly good).
I hadn't realised that there was a real ale fest in the club at the same time, otherwise I would have been tempted to take advantage of the camping, which was on the adjacent practice pitches...
