  5. The Arts Show coming live from the quaypublished at 16:02 BST 4 May 2018

    The grand finale from the Derry Jazz Festival

    Quote Message

    Stephen Graham from the Marlbank jazz website will be our guide to the good stuff on show during the festival. People like Joseph Leighton, the young guitar player who’ll be calling in with his guitar for a tune. Saxophonist Meilana Gillard tells us about her masterclass and we’ll hear how some primary school children are being introduced to jazz through Music Live Now. All that squeezed into half an hour, down by the river.

    Michael Bradley, Broadcaster
