Late night bus service to cater for jazz revellers

A LATE night bus service will operate across Cork city this bank holiday as the city gears up for a recession-proof jazz festival which is expected to generate an estimated €6 million for the local economy.

Festival director Jack McGouran said despite the recession this year’s festival is expanding to create outdoor jazz stages.

“We did very well last year and if we meet the same target this year we will be more than happy,” he said.
