Watch: Cork Jazz ‘truly a festival for everyone’

Bands from every corner of the world seemed to converge on Cork. A packed programme in the bars and venues citywide, as well as on the street corners, cemented the festival’s growing reputation for having moved beyond jazz to provide a feast for lovers of all genres of music.
From Japanese psychedelic rock to Jamaican jazz piano to Dutch brass bands, the city was swarming with musicians of every nationality, many repeat visitors but many newcomers too.
