Event Description
Limerick Jazz has been promoting music in the mid-west of Ireland for over 35 years. We run spring and autumn seasons which feature the best of live Irish and international contemporary Jazz. The last five years have seen regular promotions of local artists by organizations such as Speakeasy Jazz, concert appearances by Wayne Shorter; Bobby McFerrin; and Bela Fleck and visits from Jazz greats like Chris Potterl; Thomasz Stanko; John Abercrombie; Manu Katche; Guy Barker; and Soweto Kinch.
In 2016 the festival hosted homegrown and international artists the Partisans; Spain’s Atchere; renowned Irish Jazz guitarist David O’Rouke; and the Dublin City Jazz Orchestra.
In its sixth year, Limerick Jazz Festival 2017 hosted the likes of The Soweto Kinch Trio; Ireland’s own Booka Brass; the Dublin City Jazz Orchestra ft. special guests Pia Dunne and Keith McDonald; renowned Jazz Funk band The James Taylor Quartet; Jazz Duo The Mysterious Mr. Valentine; and Joe O’Callaghan’s Electric Freeplay.
