Cork Jazz Festival Special
So the Jazz is upon us again down here in Leeside. A bank holiday weekend where outsiders invade Cork and the majority of Corkonians lock themselves indoors or at least inside their local.
This year will see over 120 acts play over the 4/5 days with MacCurtain Street as always the main hub of the excitement.
It may be called the Jazz festival but all tastes are catered for with a pretty formidable line-up. Some highlights are :
Thursday :
Peter Green in The Old Oak
Buzzcocks in The Pavilion
Isis in Cyprus Avenue
Friday :
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble in The Pavilion (playing twice : 8pm & 11pm)
