The Guinness Cork Jazz festival is fast approaching at the end of the month 28th – 31st October.
The 34th edition takes place at the end of the month and among the performers are Robert Glasper, top American vibist Jason Marsalis, Sheryl Bailey, The Hot Club of Cowtown, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Picture This, BellX1, Brian Deady, Cathy Davey and Loudon Wainwright 111. There’s also a music trial, fringe and festival club.
I’ve got a sweet prize to give you ample reason to spend the weekend in the city during the festival plus tickets to see Rodrigo Y Gabriela in Cork Opera House on Sunday October 30th. Plus, accommodation is sorted with two nights Bed and Breakfast for two in the Maryborough 4 star Hotel and Spa.
To win, all you have to do is like Nialler9 on Facebook and tag a friend on this post before Monday 17th October. A winner will be chosen at random.
