Cork Jazz Festival

On the weekend of October 29th to 31st, the City of Cork was buzzing with activity as it was the weekend of the Guinness Jazz Festival. The event basically featured a number of bands performing in many locations across Cork. Some of the events were free and others weren't. I of course only went to the free ones.
I visited different pubs on Saturday afternoon (with my friend Etienne and one of his coworkers), Saturday night (with Gerard Dunne and Alan Hopkins) and Sunday Night (with Alan Hopkins and some girls from the Pope's Quay choir), I couldn't help but notice the extra couple thousand people on the streets of the City especially during the day which seemed to have more of a family oriented vibe with many children around.
I have to say that it was in fact a good experience and I was particularly happy that it just so happened that two of my favorite brothers in the province, Gerard and Alan were visiting Cork that weekend and graciously took me out.
