On this edition I have a look at some Jazz events in the West of Ireland, previewing the upcoming gig initiated by Westport Jazz featuring guitarists Julien Colarossi and John Keogh with singer Susannah De Wrixon, and there is a preview of some of the appearing artists at this year's Limerick Jazz Festival, music by the Darius Brubeck Quartet, the Beat+Pieces Big band and Septeto Internacional.
TALES FROM THE FAR SIDE is live on air on CRC102.9fm and on www.crcfm.ie every Thursday 8-9 pm with a repeat on Saturday 9-10 pm. And there is a podcast of the show available on the web site all through the week. The show has established itself over the years with a small but devoted listenership (even beyond Jazz-fans) and since the introduction on internet the listenership extended nationally and internationally.
