Play it again, Sandy: Storm extends jazz feast

They call it a weekend, but this year, Cork’s annual festival of jazz could be its longest ever.

Musicians from the US are unable to fly home because of Hurricane Sandy, so don’t be surprised if you see some famous faces playing for their keep on the street until it all blows over Stateside.

They might even include drummer Chris Dave and his band, The Drumhedz, who have already had some travel woes. On Sunday they arrived late for their gig at the Everyman Palace as they missed their flight from Paris to Cork and had to be re-routed through Dublin. They still got a standing ovation, though, so keep a lookout for Chris and his turbo-charged drumming.
