Fingers crossed the weather man will provide a sunny day to accompany the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival's free jazz. Free here means no cost - the jazz itself is more old-school jazz - Dixie and swing. Music you can dance to.

The Ross Bandstand not only has the dramatic backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, but a dance floor, where people of all ages take the opportunity to swing.

This year's line-up includes:

• compere, Todd Gordon
• Edinburgh Schools Jazz Orchestra
• Dave Donohoe Band
• Topsy Chapman
• Golden Eagles Big Band and Marching Band
• The Syncopators (from Sydney)
• The Criterion New Orleans Parade Band.
