Photos & recordings

Now we’ve all had time to recover from the first Harmonic we’ll be adding various things to the website. Firstly, the lovely photos you can see in the header of our website taken by Kate Beatty. Have a click on an image to launch our lovely gallery of selected images from the festival. Kate’s done a fantastic job of capturing the vibe of the festival I’m sure you’ll agree. You can also have a look at some snapshots we uploaded via Flickr throughout the festival over on our media page. Not anywhere near Kate’s photos but an interesting alternative look at Harmonic!

Speaking of the Media page, you’ll find recordings from the festival appearing there in the next few weeks. We’ll let you know when the page gets updated if you sign up to our mailing list via the Contact page. You also find lovely reviews of both Friday and Saturday nights over on the Jazz Mann’s website as well as on Peter Bacon’s Jazz Breakfast website.

Day four

Wow, that was intense! What a fantastic day yesterday was, and a brilliant end to the first Harmonic. Every band gave it their all and really did themselves proud. The duos in the Common room were great and worked really well at keeping everyone entertained and setting the mood for the festival. A massive thanks to all the bands who played in the main room too who helped to create an amazing day of music. The diversity in sounds was breathtaking, and really inspiring to think that so much great music goes on in and around this city.

Looking back, the last few days have been a joy to be involved with. So many people have thanked us for putting it together but it has genuinely been a real pleasure to stand back and let the musicians shine through. If you missed out this year, don’t worry. Like some kind of jazz Terminator, we’ll be back. Don’t just wait until next year to say “hi” though. You can still contact us, and we’d love your feedback on this year. info@harmonicfestival.co.uk is the email address to reach us on. We’ll also be adding recordings and photos to the website in the coming weeks so please come back and check them out.

We’d like to thank Birmingham Jazz, Arts Council West Midlands and Birmingham City Council for their support of Harmonic without whom undoubtedly this wouldn’t have happened.
