SOME of the most talent jazz musicians in Wales flocked to Caldicot on the weekend for the towns second annual jazz festival.

Hundreds of people came to Caldicot for the 2003 Jazz Festival organised by the Round The Horn Jazz Society.

Eleven bands played at two venues in the town for the successful three-day event, starting at The Measure Inn on Friday evening with the Ian Phillips Paraders.

Gypsy jazz band The Amigos, who played at the Choir Hall on Saturday, were very popular with the crowds, along with Cas Caswell who performed on Sunday.

The festival is now in its second year and organisers Roy Davies and Mac Cambray say they hope to continue its success next year.

Roy Davies said: "I am pleased with the success of the event this year, particularly with the bands who came and it was really well attended, which is all we wanted."
