Findings from the musician survey

Following the 2015 festival, we sent out a survey to all the musicians who played at this year's festival.

We wanted to know what impressions the musicians had of the festival and how this year's event went, both for themselves and for other musicians. As organizers, we want to be a better jazz festival, both for the audience and for the musicians, and are pleased that just under 70 musicians responded to the survey.

What do we do with the answers?

It was also open for the musicians to write down their own feedback, and we see that many of them are about the festival's backline policy (amplifiers, drums etc). This is therefore one of the points we will consider improving.
