Lost & Found #35: Wellington International Jazz Festival, 2003

Deva Mahal performs at the Wellington International Jazz Festival, 2003

Following on from last week's post, today's Lost & Found is from the 2003 Wellington International Jazz Festival - which is only weeks away from its next event, in early June.

That year, we were based out of the Wellington Workingmen's Club on Cuba St in the central city, so we had a slightly smaller venue this time - but (from memory) were able to fill it more often!

It's interesting to look at these both in terms of who was there - these are mostly images of Wellington groups at the time, plus a visiting artist from Indonesia - but also from an archival point of view. I mean, remember when people smoked on stage!?
