Cork Opera House is delighted to announce Soul Powerhouse Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings with special guests Lee Fields & The Expressions to perform at this year’s Cork Jazz Festival. In 2013, Daptone Records announced the August release of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings’ Give the People What They Wantwhen Sharon Jones was diagnosed with cancer. The scheduled release and supporting tours were immediately put on hold and all efforts were quickly shifted to her treatment and recovery. It brings great joy and relief to announce that after a successful operation, ongoing treatment, and the continued support and love of friends, family, and fans, Sharon Jones is back.
