The City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival have confirmed that jazz sensation Jamie Cullum will be headlining this year's event and will take to the stage at the Millennium Forum for a show stopping performance of jazz classics performed in his distinctive contemporary style.
Welcoming the news, Mayor of Derry Councillor Brenda Stevenson said: “I am thrilled at the announcement that Jamie Cullum is to headline the City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival. Jamie has a huge following and has made jazz more accessible to a whole new generation of listeners.
“And he’s no stranger to Derry of course – last year St Mary’s school choir were thrilled to have the opportunity to perform with him - so it will be lovely to bring him back to the city.
The concert will take place on Monday May 4 at 8pm, and is the highlight in a packed five day programme of music taking place right across the city.
Jamie’s concert is among a whole host of events already included in the fantastic Jazz Festival programme, which draws tens of thousands of music lovers to the city each year.
Other acts already confirmed in this year’s line up include ‘A Tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ starring cast members from the West End smash ‘The Jersey Boys’, and the Stars of the Commitments, who bring their gritty brand of Dublin influenced blues and jazz back to the city.
