Heading down to Cork for my first Jazz Festival experience, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. One very long weekend later, I’m positive that it will become an annual excursion in my books.

Yes, it may be a festival of jazz, but the lineup ranges from R&B and soul to hip hop, dance, alternative rock and more. Ticketed events took place across eight venues including Cork Opera House, Cyprus Avenue, and St Peter’s Church, as well as Cork City Hall, Live At St Luke’s, and of course the birthplace of the festival, Metropole Hotel. And for jazz purists, Triskel and The Everyman were the preferred option.

On night one, The Pharcyde and Souls of Mischief were on the agenda. Playing at Cork Opera House, the crowd was positively raring to go. Souls of Mischief got things started, playing anthems from their debut album, where not one hand wasn’t in the air. Dashing straight to Cyprus Avenue for DJ sets from Luka Una and Mr Scruff, where we danced into the small hours and left to find that the rain had eased off and the clocks had gone back. You can imagine how very perplexing the concept of daylight savings is at moments such as these.
