Watch: Cork Jazz ‘truly a festival for everyone’
Youngsters from the Cork Music Generation joining the New York Brass Band to play Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’ on the open-air stage in Emmet Place encapsulated an unofficial theme for this year’s Guinness Cork Jazz festival: The international musical connections the festival has built up over its 40-year history.
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.
