Here's Caitlin Moran of the Times writing about the Oxford Jazz Festival on Twitter
@caitlinmoran
What a dilemma-someone's asked me to Tweet about the Oxford Jazz Festival this Easter, but I hate jazz. 60 performances! Christ. That's hell
Catlin – I promise you we can make you like Jazz! Get in touch with us and we'll match you with the best shows for you. Such diversity! @OxJazz

Well said, Alissa. I think you should invite Caitlin Moran and Andrew Marr as well, get some good jazz advocates along to take them to gigs, explain to them what it's all about, how to listen, how to get something out of the most exhilarating, beautiful music in the world. They could become jazz's biggest fans, with the right people to guide them.
Well, I've sent the invitation TheJazzBreakfast, we'll see what she says?
@caitlinmoran 'you should invite Caitlin Moran & Andrew Marr as well…They could become jazz's biggest fans, with the right…guide” Well?
