The 27th annual 10-day Noosa Jazz Party was another successful event this year, with jazz-enthusiasts travelling from around Australia to party together over August 23 – September 1.

Patsy Stevens, who organised the Noosa Jazz Party with her husband Richard, said that the event was absolutely brilliant this year.

“We were booked out on Saturday and we had very few seats left on Friday and Sunday. It was really good to see,” she said.

Patsy said her favourite performance would have to be by the Fireworks.

“The Fireworks got a standing-ovation on the Saturday,” she said.

“When I lived in Melbourne I used to go and see them and it was lovely to see them still as enthusiastic.”

Patsy said she would like to thank all attendees for supporting the Noosa Jazz Party.

“We try to please people and it’s really good that we have people coming to support us. Without the support of those people, the Party wouldn’t survive.”
