The spiritual home of the Cork Jazz Festival has launched a major recruitment drive for staff for what will be the first major festival in Ireland once all Covid restrictions are lifted.
The Metropole Hotel, the festival headquarters since the music event was founded there in October 1978, hopes to hire up to 50 people to work as part of its jazz team across the festival bank holiday weekend from October 22-25.
