Music to the ears with free Jazz trail 19.04.12

THERE was music to the ears of jazz lovers yesterday as the City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival announced its free Guinness Jazz Trail for the May Bank Holiday.
Now in its 11th year, the popular festival once again has a jam-packed programme of events with a host of performers who will take over the city's pubs and clubs for four days.
More than 90% of the some 300 artists appearing at this year's festival will be free to the public to attend. Along with ever-popular Gay McIntyre, this year sees a return of many other festival favourites including John Leighton, Cat Scratch Fever, the Jiveoholics and Les Swingin Lovers.
Derry Mayor, Cllr Maurice Devenney helps launch the free Guinness Jazz Trail as part of the City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival over the May Bank Holiday.
Derry Mayor, Cllr Maurice Devenney, welcomed the launch of the free jazz trail and the opportunity for people to enjoy such a diverse range of musical talent.
"Once again we have to thank Guinness for adding to the accessibility of the event and providing the opportunity for so many people to join in the festival for free.
"Their support since the festival first started 11 years ago has been integral to its success, and it has become such a positive showcase of our city, especially in the run up to our City of Culture year in 2013," he said.
