Jabin Ward

Hailing from the mighty Waikato region of New Zealand, Jabin Ward moved to Wellington and spent 10 years in the vibrant Wellington music scene. He then honed his skills touring for six years with reggae/funksters 'The Black Seeds' gathering inspiration from the many great artists he shared the stage with at festivals and clubs around the world. Since living in Cork he has had the fortune to perform with the legendary 'Karma Parking' and also contributed to the funky stench of improvised funk band STINK!

He currently performs with The Jabin Ward Trio, a contemporary improvising Jazz group featuring Jabin Ward [Tenor sax], Niall McGuinness [Bass] and Dan Walsh [Drums], and Boola Boom, a super-sized brass and percussion big-band playing acoustic house, jazzy techno and drum & bass belters. A budding collaboration between some of Cork's top jazz musicians and drummers from the Cork City Samba Band, the group officially launched in Summer 2023 and are currently showcasing their growing set.
