The Sligo jazz scene, sure you'll be begging for more - pictured is the river Garavogue that runs through Sligo Town. As you may lots of other local scenes in Ireland that deserve a lot more media coverage. Because the wider public is largely in the dark as to its merits and sheer talent out there. The national print media only fire up the pool Quattro to motor in occasionally, rarely picking out top new homegrown jazz talent to get behind. Their arts pages rationale needs a serious rejig otherwise what's the point in even perusing their pages if you are a proper jazz fan looking for sensible and considered coverage of your favourite music. There's always marlbank, the Jazz Ireland website and Dermot Rogers on Dublin City FM. Pity RTE and BBC NI can't be arsed to put on enhanced elements to bolster their meagre "coverage". But it is what it is to trot out a tired phrase. Again. Beyond all begrudgery reader - you know who really cares. "When all else fails there's always delusion". I can mercifully see the irony in citing this Conan O'Brien witticism on this very s(h - ah now)ite. Phew
