subject: Enjoy The Best Of The British Summer At The Royal Windsor Beer And Jazz Festival! [print this page] Home to the estate of the British royal family and known primarily for its historic buildings and gardens as well as the most elite of public schools, Windsor is essentially a very stately city in Berkshire, UK. However, during the summer months, the city plays host to a festival that is a unique intermixing of the very British love of their beer brewing traditions and the love of contemporary music.
The Royal Windsor Beer and Jazz Festival is one of the many such festivals organized by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). However, what sets it apart from traditional beer festivals is the line-up of Jazz artists and bands slated to entertain the merry-makers. The five-day festival which falls in August is held in the Alexandra Gardens beside the River Thames, visually serenaded with magnificent views of Windsor Castle. The summer sounds slated to perform feature an eclectic mix of established names and rising stars in the genres of blues, funk, Latin and traditional jazz. Beers of every strength and style appear to toast the summer fun, from pale ales to stout. People who are not quite the fans of ale that their peers are need not shy away from the festivities the festival also offers an array of summery drinks such as cocktails, wines, Pimms and even soft drinks. You can soak them up with soul food (to which a separate area is dedicated) or the very British staple of fish and chips.
The 2009 festival was headlined by the James Taylor Quartet, also featuring famous international names such as the Chicago Blues Brothers and Brazilian Bossa Nova singer Jandira Silva. The music selection is designed to complement the ambience of the day and weather, with lazy strains at midday and energetic vibes at night. Delicious food, quality brews, great views and exciting music the British summer does not get any better!
If youre in town during the summer months, make a point not to miss out on any of Windsors sights and sounds by staying at a centralized hotel Windsor UK. The Copthorne Hotel Slough Windsor is one of the best accommodation choices, as it is a well-recommended Slough hotel within easy reach of all of the citys major attractions.
