City of Derry Jazz Festival swings in to town

The City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival kicks off today with a packed programme of 450 live music events taking place across 72 local venues.

Mayor of Derry and Strabane, Councillor Patricia Logue, and Council Jazz Festival Coordinator Andrea Campbell, met up with Junhyun Park, Mi-Kyeong Doherty Kim, Donghyun Kim, Jiwoong Choi and Bara Kim on the City Walls to find out more about some local music legends ahead of the Festival.

You can see the Korean jazz sensations when they play Bennigans Bar, Sandinos and the Craft Village – find out more about all that’s happening over the weekend from Thursday, May 2 to Monday, May 6 at cityofderryjazzfestival.com
