Jazz in LancashireYour comprehensive guide to jazz in Lancashire The Red Rose county ranges from the sparkling seaside resort of Blackpool, with its tower, rock and illuminations, to the tranquillity of the Ribble Valley, steeped in the mystery of the Pendle Hill witches. The county boasts the spectacular Trough of Bowland, is dotted with old mill towns and is edged with the shifting sands of Morecambe Bay. The area's healthy jazz scene reflects this varied landscape: the dynamic Lancaster Jazz Festival each September; the ever-popular weekly sessions at the St Mary's Chambers in Rawtenstall; a wide programme of world jazz at The Platform in Morecambe; the well-respected Burnley Summer School in the last week of July; the Jam Factory, the region's biggest community big band; jazz weekends by the sea; and an active modern and traditional pub jazz scene across the county.
