We’re delighted to welcome a legendary musical friendship to Dublin for a rare concert.

Tommy Halferty’s long-standing musical friendship with renowned ECM vocalist Norma Winstone has seen much-loved and critically-acclaimed tours and an album over many years of collaboration. The pair first met while teaching at Newpark Music School in the early 1990s, during one of Norma’s visits to Ireland where she also performed with the Noel Kelehan Big Band. From that moment, whenever Norma returned to Ireland, she consistently invited Tommy to perform alongside her.
