YolanDa set to swing by festival

MORE than 1,000 artists will perform in some 80 venues as Cork swings to the beat of one of Europe’s biggest jazz festivals later this month.

Joining the Fun Loving Criminals and Imelda May at the annual Guinness Cork Jazz Festival will be sax player and MOBO urban music award-winner YolanDa Brown.

The 26-year-old helped launch the full artist line-up yesterday which includes legendary sax player Pharoah Sanders, drummer Jack DeJohnette and stunning vocalist Kurt Elling.
