As we wrap up another Wallingford Winter Blues and Jazz Festival, we just want to take a moment to say one huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who made it possible.

To all of our incredible artists, thank you for bringing your talent, passion, and energy to the stage. You are the heart of everything we do, and this festival simply wouldn’t exist without you.

To our amazing venues, thank you for opening your doors, supporting live performance, and helping us create such special spaces for audiences to gather and enjoy great music.

To every single volunteer, your time, dedication, and behind-the-scenes hard work keep everything running smoothly. We truly couldn’t do this without you.

A special shoutout to Ollie, Edward, Harvey and Matthew and Ray and Matthew Goodwin our top lighting guys for transforming each space with atmosphere and magic.
To Alex, Carlos & Theo at CVP Audio, thank you for the flawless sound and technical expertise that kept the festival sounding as good as it felt.

To our brilliant visual team, Gareth & Stuart (Photography) and Ryan (Videography) for documenting the spirit of the festival so beautifully.

And finally, the biggest thank you to Maff, Fleur and Steve, the driving force behind the entire festival. Your vision, dedication, and tireless work made all of this possible.

This has truly been a community festival and we are incredibly lucky to have this on our door-step.
