The home of the Jazz is pulling out all the stops this year!
Excitement is building at the Metropole Hotel ahead of this year’s Cork Jazz Festival. The full line-up has been confirmed with a host of diverse artists on several stages around the hotel throughout the October Bank Holiday weekend.
The original home of the Cork Jazz Festival is welcoming firm favourites along with some new additions to the bill. Fans of swing, funk, groove and blues will be well catered for with an exciting mix of Irish and international acts.
The line-up includes the New York Brass Band, The Swing Bandits featuring The Loungeman, Harry Connolly, Pixie and The Gypsies, Fiona Kennedy, Hugh Buckley Trio, MTU Gospel Choir and Le Hot Club Quintet.
There will be live performances starting at 1.30pm daily and continue throughout the day until the early hours of the morning. Attendees can move from stage to stage to enjoy the special atmosphere and excitement of the Festival Club.
There are a number of Jazz Dining Experiences which offer a four-course dinner in the hotel’s Riverview Restaurant accompanied by live music performances and access to the Jazz Festival Club.
The hotel is also offering weekend breaks with one, two and three night packages including B and B, cocktail on arrival, dinner and entrance to the Jazz Festival Club.
Pierce Lowney, Director of Food and Beverage at Trigon Hotels said:
“The Metropole Hotel is the perfect location for the Jazz Festival with five stages set up in the hotel, including our newly renovated Ballroom. We have a really exciting line-up of live performances this year, catering for all ages. Our Jazz Dining Experience packages mean that people can come and soak up the atmosphere during the day before sitting down to a delicious meal prepared by our team of chefs and then continue to dance the night away.”
The Metropole Hotel Festival Club is strictly an over 23s venue. Tickets from €41 plus booking fee per person per night with a range of prices available for the Jazz Dining Experience and Jazz Weekend Breaks.
