About the event

Swingcopation: The Samhain Jazz Ball
🎺✨ Swingcopation Samhain Jazz Ball ✨🎺
🕺💃 A night of swing dance and jazz live music in Cork!

Get ready to dance the night away at Cork’s most exciting swing dance social of the year, happening during the legendary Cork Jazz Festival weekend! Join us for the Swingcopation Samhain Jazz Ball — a celebration of jazz live music, joyful dance, and the warm glow of Samhain. 🎃

🎶 Live music with the Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet feat. Julien Silvand 🎶
Classic golden age jazz. Danceable, elegant & timeless — with stunning vocals, superb musicianship & a playfully infectious energy that keeps audiences smiling and feet tapping.

At the heart of this unique Irish–French collaboration is Lewis Barfoot — a London-Irish singer, composer, and swing dancer based in Cork. Best known for her spellbinding folk performances (two studio albums, BBC & RTÉ support), Lewis has stepped seamlessly into jazz, winning hearts with her silky-pure vocals and irresistible joie de vivre.

She’s joined by the masterful Julien Silvand (France) — trumpeter and bandleader with Swing That Classic, Tap That Jazz, Bumpy Roof Band and more — flying in specially from Paris for the festival. Together, they bring Irish warmth, French swing, and classic jazz standards in a vintage style that keeps dancers dancing and hearts smiling.

🦇 New to swing? Don’t be afraid of the dance floor!
Join our beginner taster class before the Ball — we’ll teach you the basic steps and we’ll help you break the curse of two left feet! No tricks, just treats (and a whole lot of fun).

👻 All levels welcome - No experience or partner needed — just your best spooky smile!

Come for the jazz, stay for the boo-gie! It’s going to be a spook-tacular night!
