Ultra-local in terms of the line-up global-facing online in terms of the means of broadcast next weekend's Derry jazz festival has Ursula McHugh, Jim McDermott, Palais Swing Band, the John Leighton quartet, Comrade Hat (Neil Burns), Anna Nolan and the Victoria Geelan quartet among the artists to perform.

The obvious highlight is Victoria Geelan who deserves to be far better known beyond Ireland. The Derry-based Omagh singer with the vintage touch has a very fine voice, strong and rising to the top of her range so tender. Festival website Victoria Geelan, top.
