He said: “The Jazz Festival is renowned for live music and it’s great for Foyleside to be involved in what is an amazing annual showcase for both local and national talent.

“We have a great mix of musicians lined up and can’t wait for people to stop and listen to them while shopping in our 50 stores packed full of famous brands; there should be an amazing buzz around the centre.”
