Bute Manouche update 25 June 2021
BUTE MANOUCHE 2021 CANCELLED
Bute Jazz Concerts Ltd. has
announced with great regret the cancellation of this year's Bute Manouche which
was due to take place at Rothesay's 292 at the end of October.
Chairman, Tim Saul said the
decision had not been taken lightly and the committee had delayed making it for
as long possible.
“We had hoped that by now there
would be some clarity over what rules might apply in the autumn on issues such
as social distancing at inside events which will affect the financial viability
of the festival,” he said.
“But instead of an improving
scenario, we seem to be faced with increasing Covid case numbers in Scotland
and further afield, whilst new mutations of the virus make it impossible to
judge what the situation is going to be like in late October.”
He added “Bute Manouche is not
only about the music – there is a social aspect to the event with old friends
and new ones getting together afterwards in the bars, not to mention the jamming
sessions.
“We understand this is very
disappointing news for the many jazz enthusiasts and musicians, who made the
first Bute Manouche such a fantastic success in 2019.
“However, on a positive note,
please pencil in the dates 21 – 23 October 2022 when we hope most of the world
will have been vaccinated and this wretched virus will have burnt itself out,
leaving us free to enjoy Bute Manouche as it should be enjoyed with no
restrictions.”
Please note new dates 21st - 23rd October 2022
