Change of Date for 2012's Stompin' on the Quomps

Fans of Stompin' on the Quomps', the biggest free to attend jazz festival of its kind in the south, should make sure they put 21st July 2012 in their diaries. For the past 18 years the popular Christchurch event has been held on the first Saturday of August however, due to the Olympics 'Super Saturday' event on that date, organisers decided to hold Stompin' a few weeks earlier this year.

Chairman of the organisers, Adrian Dwyer said: "Last year's event was the best ever and we know people make arrangements for the event in advance so we are keen to get the message out that the event will be earlier, on the 21st July, for 2012."
