 The Festival has been running since
1999, and until this year was sponsored
by Black Bottle, the brand of blended
Scotch Whisky that incorporates seven
Islay Single Malts.
The Festival began when Stuart Todd of
Islay Arts Association called Fiona
Alexander of Assembly Direct to get a
phone number for a musician he wanted to
book. In the following conversation the
seed of the Festival was germinated.
In its twelve year history the Festival
has promoted musicians from over 25
countries and presented fifteen world
premieres and it today regarded as a
significant jazz event in the UK
calendar
Diageo has announced that its iconic
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Lagavulin is sponsoring the 2010 Islay
Jazz Festival for more details see link
