Norma Winstone & Tommy Halferty

Norma Winstone & Tommy Halferty

Friday, 6 July 2018, 8.00pm

An exceptional evening of music featuring the stunning vocals of Norma Winstone & award winning guitarist Tommy Halferty.

Norma Winstone was born in London and first attracted attention in the late sixties when she shared the bill at Ronnie Scott’s club with Roland Kirk. Although she was known initially for evolving her own wordless approach to improvisation, her extraordinary versatility means she is equally at home with the standards repertoire, performing with small groups, orchestras and big bands. Her own legendary album ‘Somewhere Called Home‘ on the ECM label is widely considered to be a classic.

Born in Derry, Northern Ireland, he began his musical career in the late 70s taking Jazz Guitar lessons with Louis Stewart, a world class jazz musician. He has travelled the world and played with Lee Konitz, Benny Golson, Ronnie Cuber, George Mraz, Dave Liebman, Martial Solal. He has been guest lecturer at the famous Berklee College of music Boston. Tommy is considered one of the first Irish jazz musicians to export a distinctly indigenous style to a more worldwide setting.
