WEST - Official Sponsor of the Glasgow International Fringe Jazz Festival
WEST will be the official sponsor of the inaugural Glasgow Fringe Jazz Festival when it kicks off with a series of free Jazz events on the 20th of June! We believe that as a supporter of home-grown talent, the Festival is a natural fit with WEST.

We are proud to showcase our great range of beers alongside some of the city’s best known Jazz talents and believe that the combination of our brewing talent with Glasgow’s musical excellence is a match made in heaven. Having introduced Sunday afternoon Jazz sessions at our beer hall earlier this year, we are looking forward to a busy Jazz Fest this month and many more music sessions at the brewery for the rest of the year.

There is no charge for coming
and enjoying the music and we welcome all age groups so you can bring the children along as well.* See you all soon at WEST!
