Rifft Valley Jazz Cafe

Dumfries' premier jazz venue acts as the hub for this year's festival, with the majority of gigs taking place in the recently refurbished 'Bassment' bar. The ideal stop for anything from afternoon tea, to a gourmet meal, Rifft Valley is a licensed restaurant which features sumptuous food in the upstairs restaurant, or light snacks and tapas downstairs. The atmospheric setting of the 'Bassment' provides an ideal performance space reminiscent of many of New York's premier jazz venues and is the perfect place to enjoy a cultured evening of music.
