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 2021 LJF is presenting a mix of live and online events and workshops. Hosting homegrown and international artists at this year’s festival you can see the likes of University of the Arts Big Band Philadelphia, Jean McGlynn, David O' Rourke, Liam O' Brien, Tudo Bem!, Conor Guilfoyle Octet, Fergus McCreadie Trio & Gerogia Cecile Quintet, Vein Trio ft. Domenic Landolf, Joe O’ Callaghan Quartet, Nigel Mooney Quartet, & Nacho Mena Band.
