Alexander John, Gloucester Blues Slide Guitarist and singer songwriter, is set to jazz up the Blues at a Fringe Event for The Cheltenham Jazz Festival this year. A Fringe Festival is to be held the week prior to the Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

The allpay Cheltenham Jazz Fringe Festival 2010 runs from Thursday 22 April - Monday 3 May and will feature a range of local artists performing across Cheltenham.

Alexander John is a regional finalist in Live and Unsigned in Cheltenham on 27th March and is pleased to be supporting Cheltenham Jazz Festival Fringe Event with his original blues music.

" I think the allpay Fringe Festival is a great way to showcase new talent across Cheltenham and offers a taste of more musical flavours to come in the main Jazz Festival. I'm glad to be flying the flag for the Blues and featured as a headline Blues artist at the Frog and Fiddle. If you're not sure if you like blues music, then The allpay Fringe Festival is a sure way to get a taste and at a fab venue." Alexander John
