Westport Jazz Presents: The Tommy Halferty Quartet

Derry-born Tommy Halferty, widely regarded as the elder statesman of Irish jazz guitar, has forged a remarkable career shaped by a rich blend of influences and styles. Renowned for his expressive tone, harmonic sophistication, and lyrical improvisation, he remains one of the most distinctive voices in Irish jazz.

For this special performance, Halferty will be joined by an outstanding rhythm section: bassist Dave Redmond, drummer Kevin Brady, and pianist Scott Flanigan. Together, their collective virtuosity, sensitivity, and creative interplay promise an unmissable evening of dynamic and compelling music.

“Critics have described Tommy’s ensembles as excellent musicianship… a fine lesson in the art of the jazz guitar trio”. 

With the Quartet’s expanded lineup for 2026, expect even bolder improvisations, refined interplay and improvisation." - Kevin Brady

"Together, their collective virtuosity, sensitivity, and creative interplay promise an unmissable evening of dynamic and compelling music."- Jazz Ireland
