Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues
Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (09:38): This weekend sees the final Wangaratta jazz and blues festival ever, the Last Hurrah. Wangaratta has hosted this festival for 30 years. The National Jazz Awards have always been a feature, and they will still be held this weekend. Over the 30 years there have been many, many volunteer boards, and I want to thank each and every member of those boards over this time. John and June Brown of Brown Brothers have been outstanding supporters and contributors over the years; Dave Fuller, the current chair – great job, Dave; and certainly Patti Bullus, who steered the ship for many, many years, should be proud of her success and the success of this event. Time waits for nobody, and the curtain will fall on the Wangaratta jazz and blues festival this weekend.
