Lizzy Stuart got in touch to tell us about this tribute to her late dad Ken Stuart who was a stalwart of the jazz scene here and passed away 40 years ago. “A fine pianist/vibist and composer he played with everyone on the scene at the time including Louis Stewart, Dick Buckley, John Wadham, as well as having a duo with Tommy Halferty. He was a Duke Ellington specialist and played his music with Rock Fox’s famous orchestra for many years.” This night of swinging jazz will see Halferty, Lizzie, Guilfoyle and many others pay tribute to Ken with a premiere of one of his compositions and an octet set of Ellington compositions.
Arthur’s Pub, Saturday September 2, 8.30pm.
