Live music review: Louis Stewart and Jim Doherty

The Lord Kingsale, Kinsale

On Sunday night last, Irish jazz guitar legend, Louis Stewart, and champion piano man, Jim Doherty, played the Lord Kingsale as part of the music line-up at the Kinsale Arts Festival.

We were in the company of greatness. Doherty opened with a soothing ease that only confidence brings. Stewart joined him: calm and understated. Old friends and music veterans, they have played together “for all of this century and a good portion of the last”.
