I had the absolute pleasure to sit down with Tommy Halferty and shoot a new "Dublin Guitar Duets" Episode with him.
Tommy is a living history book of Irish Jazz and one of its most important contributors. It was so much fun and I hope some of his former students as well as everyone else who has an interest in the Irish Jazz scene can get something out of this one. It was so much fun to do this Episode and I am super happy to have captured some of his stories and memories of Irish Jazz!
