The clanging thought of Michael Gove dancing (as if) to the northern lights of old Aberdeen recently is exorcised completely with the return of the city's jazz festival. Fergus McCreadie, Corto.Alto and Seonaid Aitken are among the line-up at the festival on from Thursday 30 September.

Alto saxophone great Paul Towndrow, whose bagpipetastic Deepening the River also lights up the year, also makes it up to the granite city. Fergus McCreadie, top. Photo: Edition
