Derek ‘Doc’ O’Connor & Band – Live at The Pav

Sunday 26th October 2025 | 7:00PM | Cork Jazz Weekend

We’re thrilled to welcome Derek ‘Doc’ O’Connor & Band to The Pav this Jazz Weekend. One of Ireland’s premier saxophonists, Doc has performed with international icons including Van Morrison, Chaka Khan, Wet Wet Wet, Bob Geldof, Imelda May, and Jeffrey Osborne — and now he brings his unmatched musicianship to Cork for a show you won’t forget.

Known affectionately as “Doc,” he spent over 16 years as house saxophonist on popular Irish television shows like Tubridy Tonight and The Late Late Show, performing with the Camembert Quartet. Now leading his own band, Doc combines virtuoso saxophone playing with a full ensemble sound, delivering jazz, funk, soul, and blues with dynamic energy and sophistication.

Expect soaring solos, tight grooves, and a stage presence that commands attention from the first note to the last. Whether you’re a lifelong jazz aficionado or new to the genre, this performance
