Sunday 23rd August 1998 - Guild Hall, Aston University, Birmingham, England
PRESS RELEASE 25/3/98
Jean Michel Jarre, internationally known composer and performer of contemporary synthesiser music, has millions of dedicated fans world-wide. Last year, Jarre signed with Sony Music and released the widely acclaimed Oxygene 7-13 album, followed by a successful European tour.
JarreCon is the new name for conventions produced by Natural Image Productions - a company set up from the majority of the production team who organised Rendez-vous 94, 95 and 96 - the last three UK Jarre conventions. Hundreds of fans enjoyed these days, but this year is extra special as it also marks Jean Michel’s 50th birthday - so we are planning to celebrate the occasion in style!
Fans of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world, will meet up at JarreCon ‘98. Over the past few years, fans have travelled to the convention from Holland, France, Germany and Ireland.
The team who produce JarreCon are also fans of Jean Michel Jarre, and each year voluntarily give an enormous amount of time, skill and energy to make these days possible. In producing the convention, we include not only all aspects of Jarre’s music, but his work, as Goodwill Ambassador for UNESCO.
Rare merchandise and donated items, as in past UK conventions, will be auctioned at JarreCon ‘98; the proceeds of which will again be donated to UNESCO, as recognition of the wonderful and vital work this organisation achieves - well over £1,000 was raised at Rendez-vous 96.
Highlights of the day will include:
Advance Tickets are available now, at £7.50 each, £14.00 for two, £20.00 for three, and £6.00 each for bookings of four or more.
