Cork Jazz festival hits high notes once again

‘At this stage, we can’t remember how many times we’ve played, and we have to go home tomorrow… if we make our flight!”

The Netherlands’ May Day Jazz band were getting ready to regale Cork City from an open-topped bus on the Sunday of the 34th Guinness Cork Jazz Festival.

One of seven international brass bands to take to the streets and bars in a year noted by performers and punters for its phenomenal atmosphere, the band said Cork is one of the highlights of their festival calendar.
