Van the Man on jazz fest line-up

Global star Van Morrison will make an appearance in Ireland next month after a local jazz committee secured its biggest coup ever.

Now in its third year, this year’s Limerick Jazz Festival will reach new levels to mark the city’s National City of Culture designation, with a line-up that also includes Grammy award-winner, David Sanborn.

The city will swing its way through the weekend of September 25-28. It has been organised by Limerick Jazz Society, which has been keeping the jazz flame burning in the city since its inception 32 years ago.
