For this week’s “blogging at home” series, I decided to do a photo blog of the Manly Jazz Festival.   Jazz is not generally my cup of tea, but it was a glorious weekend and I usually stumble across some music palatable to my ears :o)

And the best thing, it’s FREE!!!!

Where else can you listen to jazz and the ocean?

WARNING – It can get very busy!!!

Looking cool in his shades!!!

Oom pah pah!!!

Oom pah pah!!!

I love the random music acts you find…

This amazing red-haired accordion player also popped up outside the library!

Is he playing an old oil can in a bus stop? :oS

An amazing didgeridoo player at the Manly Fig who put on an extra night especially for the jazz festival.

Another great act at the Manly Fig – this is a cool venue, it’s actually a church!!!

Info: The Manly Jazz Festival is held every year on the October long weekend in Manly, Sydney.  The festival takes over the Corso and the ocean front.  The most enjoyable way to get there is on the Manly ferry, leaving from Circular Quay and takes 1/2 hour.  For departure times and other Sydney transport details check out the 131500 website.
