Frankly, my dear, you just can't miss this!

A chic and cheeky pop-up cabaret act blending elements of jazz and Broadway is set wow Leeside music lovers at this year’s Guinness Cork Jazz Festival.

On 27 October at 2pm at the Metropole Hotel in Cork city, visitors are invited to soak up All That Jazz with new music act, Frankly My Dear, led by songstress Helen O’Dwyer and her talented dancers.

The show is full of tunes from all-time favourite artists like Peggy Lee, Shirley Bassey, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra, with all the glamour and theatre of old Hollywood with a few contemporary surprises along the way. The cabaret performance, complete with glamorous costume changes, feathers, fans, and props, will open with ‘All That Jazz’, the vibrant and iconic opening number from the musical film Chicago. Frankly My Dear has won a few hearts in Cork already, lending support to local charity The Hope Foundation. The musical act is also set to perform tomorrow, Friday, at the Clayton Hotel for Cliona’s Foundation Cork. There is also a Frankly My Dear Christmas EP in aid of Cliona’s Foundation now available on Spotify, Apple/iTunes, and all major music platforms.
