Newhampton Arts Centre and Jazz at Wolverhmpton are delighted to announce a
special music festival coming to Wolverhampton this summer. Jazz at New Horizons
will be our first–ever jazz music festival.

The festival is due to take place on Saturday 31 st July 2021 from 3pm. This one day
event will be filled with live music from some of the most renowned jazz acts of
today – all in NAC's brand new outdoor performance area. Excited attendees should also expect a party atmosphere, real ale and festival food as NAC have recently
teamed up with Wolverhampton-based No. 5 Event Catering to provide a tasty food
offer at NAC’s upcoming summer events.

The New Horizons Stage is the arts centre's response to COVID, allowing live music to resume once again in the city. The big-top style tent stage will be situated in NAC's central courtyard which during COVID restrictions will be operated without side walls – allowing for 100% external ventilation and events to be presented safely ‘as
outside’ but under canvas.

The festival line-up includes BBC Jazz Award winning saxophonist & composer Julian
Siegel with his Quartet featuring some of this generation’s most distinctive voices,
coming together to create one of the most in-demand Quartets on the UK and
European Jazz scene. English jazz vocalist Tina May is one of the most expressive and
technically gifted jazz singers working today. She appears on the bill and will be
accompanied by pianist Nikki Iles.

Critically acclaimed MOBO nominated saxophonist Camillia George, recently dubbed
as “The Golden Girl of Jazz” by The Evening Standard, will lead an all-star band in a
set of originals inspired by her African heritage. And last but not least British guitarist
Ant Law “a game changer” - The Guardian. Ant will be joining forces with Michael
Chillingworth (alto sax), Ivo Neame (piano), Ferg Ireland (bass) & James Maddren
(drums).
