It’s the Jazz Weekend!
Well, it’s the long weekend but if you’re from the real capital, you’ll know that one of the biggest music events of the year is taking place in Cork over the next few days.
For anyone who has never ventured south for the festival, it’s a celebration that’s about so much more than jazz.
Cork City comes alive with music every October Bank Holiday weekend and with live gigs and shows, bands playing in every bar, musicians on the street as well as plenty of craic, it’s a must for music lovers of all persuasions.
If you’re pregnant, you might be giving the Jazz a miss this weekend but in its honour we’ve rounded up our very favourite music-themed baby names.
Some are inspired by iconic musicians and famous songs (think John Lennon and ‘Cecelia’ by Paul Simon) while others, like Melody and Brio, come directly from musical references.
No matter what your taste in music is, you’re bound to love some of these.
