Eamonn was delighted to be back in Sligo again this week, for what's turning into an annual trip (his third consecutive autumn visiting the county). On Wednesday and Thursday, he presented a two-day workshop to adults in VTOS, funded by the Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education & Training Board. Many thanks to the participants for making it such an enjoyable experience.
Eamonn also got to hear local ensemble No Crows on Wednesday, who (which?) kindly performed an acoustic "Hey Joe" for him...

Eamonn had a rare night out over the weekend at The Limerick Jazz Festival: two for the price of one, in fact. He introduced Linley Hamilton along with Cian Boylan & The Camden Orchestra at The Belltable; and then, following a short sprint across the city, The Julian Siegel Quartet, upstairs in Dolan's. All very lovely, as was the company afterwards. Speaking of which, back to the podcasting...

About to start work on an authorised biography of the late Louis Stewart. Looking forward to leaving the cave to share conversations with those who have a story to tell…
Irish jazz guitarist Louis Stewart won the Press Award for the Outstanding European Soloist at the 1968 Montreaux Jazz Festival. He toured with Benny Goodman for three years and recorded extensively, including eight albums with George Shearing. Louis also worked with Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott in London, before deciding to make Ireland his home again. Having said that, most international jazz performers knew all about him. When yours truly interviewed the American singer Jon Hendricks in Paris some years back, the first question he asked me was, “How’s Louis?”
Louis was also renowned for his deadpan humour. When his son Tony asked him whether he’d prefer to be buried or cremated, his father replied, “Surprise Me.” A good title for a book about an improvising jazz musician…
