Live At The Cheltenham Jazz Festival - Eartha Kitt

JAZZ IT UP

Advantages: A great weekend, free events, attracts many big artists.
Disadvantages: It may rain!

One of my best memories of summer 2001 was going to the Brecon Jazz Festival whilst I was working at a summer camp nearby. The Brecon Jazz festival is renowned all over Europe and attracts big names such as Van Morrison and the Bootleg Beatles. There are loads of indoor concerts for which you need tickets, which can be expensive and sell out quickly.

"I'm off for an Eartha Kitt," is one of his classic sayings as he retires with a paper to the (Not So) Little Boy's Room, alternatively known as a Tom Tit. He also advises upon his return, "I'd give it five minutes, if I were you." He is a lazy, good for nothing whom only a mother could love and his endless bullying and piss taking of Anthony, whom he constantly refers to as Lurch or Lurcio after the butler in The Addams Family, is positively sadistic.

Forget The History What's Cheltenham Got In 2006

Advantages: Everything all in one location
Disadvantages: Lots of regeneration at present, changes are afoot.

of which are 8 screen multiplexes, two major bowling alleys and several large bingo halls. On top of this you have rivers for rowing in, parks for strolling in, and fields for lying in. If you like your entertainment to be varied Cheltenham has more cultural festivals than any other town in the UK with 27 left before the year is out. Festivals which vary in length from 1 day to 7 days feature focuses on food, entertainment, shopping, and leisure. There are 10 parks in Cheltenham varying in size from the small to the very large.

Residential Cheltenham has residential property varying in sale price from £75,000 to pretty much any amount you'd be prepared to pay. Property rentals begin at around £340 for a one bedroom house ...
