The Metropole Hotel Cork has confirmed the full line-up for this year’s Jazz Festival Club, with a host of artists on several stages around the hotel throughout the October Bank Holiday weekend.
The line-up includes the New York Brass Band, the Swing Bandits featuring the Loungeman, Harry Connolly, Pixie and the Gypsies, Fiona Kennedy, the Hugh Buckley Trio, the MTU Cork Gospel Choir and Le Hot Club Quintet.
“The Metropole Hotel is the perfect location for the Jazz Festival, with five stages set up in the hotel, including our newly renovated ballroom,” said Pierce Lowney, director of food and beverage at Trigon Hotels. “We have a really exciting line-up of live performances this year, catering for all ages.”
The hotel will cater to fans of swing, funk, groove and blues, with a mix of Irish and international acts. There will be live performances starting at 1.30pm daily and continuing throughout the day until the early hours of the morning.
Attendees can move from stage to stage to enjoy the atmosphere of the Festival Club.
Jazz Dining Experiences
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&B, a cocktail on arrival, dinner, and entrance to the Jazz Festival Club.
“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,” said Lowney.
The Metropole Hotel Festival Club is strictly an over-23s venue, with 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.
