life SOCIETY The last time you'll hear Jazz at Mottistone 32 This year heralds the last Jazz evening to be held at Mottistone Manor Gardens. Over fourteen hundred people attended this final event. A regular social event for Jazz aficionados and for those who just enjoy the atmosphere, the picnics and the enjoyable company. This year the weather stayed dry and it was a fun event. Music was provided by Mayfair Rhythm Kings, Saxofony and the Goose Island Syncopaters. After 21 years many people will miss the regular fixture on the social calendar but National Trust event organizer Heather Bradshaw felt it ended on a good note. Alternative musical events may be staged in future in the gardens. www.wightfrog.com/islandlife
