Music lovers get their jazz hands at the ready

THE only answer to the recessionary blues is some rhythm and blues, with a bit of jazz thrown in for good measure.

Some 50,000 music-hungry revellers are expected to pour into Cork for the annual Jazz Festival, which runs from today until Monday.

Now into its 33rd year, Cork’s Guinness Jazz Festival remains one of Ireland’s premier music events and draws the best in jazz, blues and even a bit of comedy.
