Cork Guinness Jazz Festival director looks to future

The Cork Guinness Jazz Festival’s new programme director, Sinead Dunphy, says she hopes to bring a more long-term approach to planning one of the city’s biggest annual events.

This week it emerged that Ms Dunphy, manager of the Cork Choral festival, will replace long-time artistic director Jack McGouran.

Ms Dunphy told the Irish Examiner that the new role, which begins next week, is the “perfect progress” for her career.
