All that Jazz!

Well, it's the October Bank Holiday weekend and that means it's the Guinness Jazz Festival! To be quite frankly honest, it's something that you normally try to avoid as it gets so cramped with Dubs coming down to Cork that it has become a bit too mad alltogether, but this year we just couldn't avoid seeing Carmina. They're a Bristol-based group playing fantastich folk / jazzy / traddy stuff... absolutely fantastic! We've seen them years ago when they recorded their CD 'On A Quiet Street' (listen to Legal Eagle's "whoohoo" at the end of 'Crazy Love') in The Meeting Place in Midleton and we hadn't had a chance to go out and see them again until yesterday afternoon.

So yeah, we had a lovely afternoon surrounded by a very enthusiastic crowd of about 40 punters that came out to see a 7-piece band playing absolutely wonderful music. Dad was over for the weekend as well and he thoroughly enjoyed it as far as I could tell.

We had a lovely time as well celebrating Haloween at Legal Eagle's place. Everybody made a huge effort in getting dressed up and getting the place transformed into Haloween style. Needless to say, the parents got a big surprise when they came back from their dinner date. Will post pictures soon!
