I AM writing to ask for the support of your audience to help us deliver a Jazz Festival in the Vale of Glamorgan.
We need to raise £8,000 for the event to happen in June and we are applying to the Arts Council of Wales for funding support.
In order for them to consider our application they require evidence from all walks of life to show there is public support for such an event.
If there is enough support and we get the funding then we can put on a Jazz Festival in Barry and the Vale from June 19 to 21. It is planned that 20 bands will play in 10 locations on this weekend.
So can you please help us make this event happen by emailing the Arts Council at information@artscouncilofwales.org.uk or by writing to them FAO Lowri, Arts Council of Wales, Bute Place, Cardiff, CF10 5AL.
Cllr Richard Bertin
Barry
