Hundreds of revellers filled one of the city's historic streets to celebrate the 31st Old Duke Jazz Festival.

The annual event, likened to a giant street party, attracted people of all ages to listen to the range of live jazz over its three days.

Saturday's sunny skies meant a record turnout as bands such as Bristol's first ukelele supergroup, the Rinky Dinks, and blues musician Eddie Martin played to a packed King Street. Yesterday evening festival regulars Fat Man Swings and Sheelanagig graced the main stage.

New this year was a buskers' stage –made of beer crates – for anyone to perform on.

The free festival is the headline event for the Old Duke Pub, known for its live jazz. Many of the people who have played in the pub have gone on to achieve great things –the latest example is Bristol's own Beth Rowley, who began playing at the Old Duke several years ago and in May saw her debut album chart at number six.

The Old Duke's name is often claimed to be a reference to the American jazz legend Duke Ellington, though the pub is thought to have had the name for centuries, and it most likely previously referred to the Duke of Wellington. The Grade II-listed building dates from about 1780. Earlier this month it was named as one of the key venues in the history of traditional jazz music in the UK.
