Last year the Marsden Jazz Festival celebrated its 5th anniversary.  This year, it is business as usual and a full weekend of amazing gigs and entertainment, for all jazz enthusiasts young and old.  One of the biggest selling points of this event has always been the sheer number of gigs that have free entry.  This helps to promote the genre and encourage all to come along and be a part of a great weekend.
