What the critics say:
The Irish Times
'Guitarist Tommy Halferty is part of that golden generation of six-stringers that emerged in the 1970s, whose ears were snagged by the speed and technical bravura of John McLaughlin and, a little later, Pat Metheny. But Halferty also has a particular devotion to the more subtle approach of John Abercrombie, and, as the Derryman matures, Abercrombie’s influence is becoming more apparent. Halferty’s excellent trio features the first-call mainstream rhythm team of bassist Dave Redmond and drummer Kevin Brady.
