Limerick Jazz Festival is set to hit the right notes this September

LIMERICK is set to swing to the sounds of jazz, as the Limerick Jazz Festival kicks off from Wednesday, September 24 to Sunday, September 28.

Once again, the festival brings together a selection of Irish and international jazz artists for a five-day celebration of rhythm, melody, and soul.

This year’s programme will welcome Ian Shaw to the Belltable, performing “When Bowie met Joni: the songs of David Bowie and Joni Mitchell.” Also from the UK, the intimate setting of the People’s Museum of Limerick will host Brigitte Beraha, accompanied by guitarist Ant Law.

Dolan’s Pub will see a rich selection of Irish talent with Deborah Swiney joining long-time friend of the Festival Nigel Mooney, Emily Conway and Dublin’s Cormac Kenevey.

Among this year’s featured acts are Irish fusion artists Magical Dog, Julian Siegel Quartet from the UK, and the Irish debut of vibraphonist Dimitris Angelakis and his Quartet.

The festival will also welcome back Rory Conneally, who won the 2024 Young Irish Jazz Musician Competition in the University Concert Hall, UL last November.

John Daly, Chair of Limerick Jazz Society, said, "We are delighted to announce a really wonderful programme for our 14th Limerick Jazz Festival. Our heartfelt thanks go to the Arts Council and Limerick City and County Council.”
