Hayley Kavanagh, a Dublin-based saxophonist and flautist, returned to Ireland in 2023 to pursue a degree in Jazz and Contemporary music at DCU after spending a total of seven years living in Prague and Berlin.
Since her return, Hayley has been actively engaged in the Jazz scene in Dublin. Regularly taking the stage, she leads various ensembles and contributes as a “sideman” in collaborative projects.
Hayley is very community oriented. Having moved city twice already, she understands how difficult it can be to find your feet on a new scene and believes that a strong community among musicians is essential. With this in mind, she co-founded Cookin’ Dublin @cookindublin, an event guide and jam session series dedicated to jazz in Dublin, as well as the Arthur’s Jazz Jam that takes place every second Monday in Arthur’s Blues and Jazz Club.
