Festival Headliner Monday 2 May
Imelda May Millennium Forum
8pm
£39.50
Born and raised in the The Liberties area of Dublin, Imelda May has become one of Ireland’s most celebrated female artists. Following an appearance on ‘Later...with Jools Holland’, Imelda has since staged her own sold out tours across the UK, Ireland, Europe, North America and Australia, performing for royalty, presidents and at major events around the world. Imelda has collaborated with legendary artists such as Lou Reed, Bono, Elvis Costello, Jeff Beck, Van Morrison, Robert Plant and has performed on Hollywood actor Jeff Goldblum’s debut jazz album. Imelda’s latest album ‘Life Love Flesh Blood’, produced by the legendary T-Bone Burnett, was a departure from her rockabilly revival style with a bold new sound that sits firmly outside of any sharply defined genre box, widely spanning blues, rock, soul, gospel and jazz. The most personal and honest album she’s ever written is filled with songs of heartbreak, desire, loss, and liberation and was the 5th best-selling female album globally in 2017.

Spotlight on Jazz
Linley Hamilton Quintet Returning as part of their Irish Tour, the band has reassembled to record a new album in early May, a follow-up to their hugely successful ‘For the Record’, which spent ten weeks in the US Jazzweek charts and amassed critical acclaim worldwide. The band is made up of Adam Nussbaum, drums, Mark Egan bass, Cian Boylan piano,
06
Derek ‘DOC’ O’Connor sax and Linley Hamilton trumpet. As an ensemble, they combine beautifully and create a musical narrative that had packed houses in Dublin, Moscow and Cork rising to their feet in standing ovation in 2020…Expect more of the same this time and book early so as not to be disappointed!
Spotlight on Jazz
Randy Ingram Trio
Tom Ollendorff
U.S. pianist and composer hailed as gifted (Jazz Times) and a formidable composer (The San Francisco Chronicle). Randy Ingram was born in Alaska and relocated with his family to Laguna Beach, California. A piano student since the age of four, Ingram’s passion for jazz blossomed in high school, when he formed his first trio and then progressed to a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Performance and a Masters in Music. A recipient of the ASCAP Young Jazz Composer’s Award, Ingram has established himself as an integral part of the NYC music community. In the words of his mentor Fred Hersch, “Randy Ingram is among the vanguard of young jazz pianists on the New York scene. He plays with finesse, thoughtfulness and passion.”
“Guitarist Tom Ollendorff has been fast building a reputation as an outstanding improviser and imaginative composer. His album ‘A Song For You’ (Fresh Sound Records) is an elegantly accomplished mix of gracefully grooving songlike themes, warmly conversational improvising, baroque-like unaccompanied etudes, and headlong fast-bop swing.” H H H H BBC Music Magazine
“Tom Ollendorff is one of the world’s finest guitarists. His music is complex yet rooted in melody and feeling.” Gilad Hekselman “Traditional, but very classy.” The Guardian “On ‘A Song For You’, Ollendorff presents sophisticated, melodic music of seraphic beauty.” All About Jazz

Tribute to Gay McIntyre
Jazz saxophonist and clarinettist Gay McIntyre, was regarded as one of the foremost leading performers in Ireland, UK and Europe. With a fabulous professional musical career that spanned incredibly more than 75 years- he was a phenomenon. He established himself as one of the top ranked jazz performers through his musical interactions with his peers, those elite jazz musicians from Canada, UK, USA, Ireland and other parts of Europe. Gay McIntyre was a Derry man at heart, and loved to perform on his home turf, sharing his knowledge and talent both locally and nationally, and did all of this while he continued his career as an educator and inspiration to many young people and musicians over the years.

NYJO will work with students to explore how to internalise the essential elements of music: rhythm, melody, harmony, texture and form, and how to use these creatively to improvise and fashion arrangements in a jazz style. The practical elements of the workshop will be combined with some discussion about the wider context and value of learning music away from reliance on notation and how this reflects both contemporary and historic concepts of performance practise.
Open to all. Booking not necessary.

Live Music Now
Putting the ‘fun’ into funky for local school-children. Almost 1500 children across Derry and Strabane will get a fun and funky ‘taste of jazz’ with Live Music Now’s schools programme in the run-up to the 2022 festival. Between March and May, pupils at 15 primary schools will experience jazz taster performances in their school hall, delivered by pianist John Leighton and singer / saxophonist Meilana Gillard. John and Meilana are familiar faces on the Northern Irish jazz scene, though Meilana hails from Ohio originally. Together they make a big sound, with Meilana’s gutsy, soulful vocals and John’s funky piano playing. The short performances will be interactive and fun, including familiar jazz standards, and will be a perfect introduction to jazz for wee ones.

Our Place in Space Bay Road & River Foyle
Fri 22 April - Sun 22 May Our Place in Space is an epic scale model of the solar system designed by the artist Oliver Jeffers. It combines a threedimensional sculpture trail, interactive AR app and exciting learning and events programmes. Our Place in Space is a playful experiment that asks: What is the difference between ‘US’ and ‘THEM’? What happens to your perspective when you look back at earth from space? Our Place in Space is led by Nerve Centre and is part of UNBOXED: Creativity in the UK, a ground-breaking UK-wide celebration of creativity that will bring people together and reach millions through ten major multisite and digital creative projects in 2022. Our Place in Space is one of five projects that will take place in Northern Ireland.

8th Annual DLD Second Line Jazz Parade Meeting Point: Castle Street • Ending Point: Waterloo Place Sat 30 April
12noon
Route: Castle Street, Waterloo Street, Strand Road, right on Great James Street - pass the City Hotel and wave, around the roundabout, swing by the Post Office on Guildhall Street, make a right and end in Waterloo Place. Hello all you second liners! Who feels like funking it up this year? I know we are! Grab your umbrellas and your dancing shoes and meet us on Castle Street for this year’s DLD Second Line jazz parade. This year is special in so many ways... this year marks the 10th anniversary of Second Line NI and our musicians being together for this project. It marks the moment we are coming back together, after 2 years apart, to bring our music back to the streets. What better way to celebrate than to strut our stuff down Waterloo Place once again. We’re doin’ it proper, so come on down and join us.
