Mardi Gras in the Grassmarket

The Mardi Gras started the Jazz & Blues Festival off in fine fashion and what was even better was that the weather was great - loads of sun and actually quite warm!

If you are in the city and have a chance, try to catch some of the great events that are taking place until 31st July. Here is the programme: Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival 2011

As I am talking about jazz, I have just heard the news about Amy Winehouse, a wasted talent indeed.
