That takes me back. I remember them all, particularly the times Louis Stewart and John Wadham were in my parents' house as they were good friends of my father. Dad was a great jazz musician and drummer who taught John to play the drums. Dad came to regard him as the best drummer in Ireland such was his talent. He rightly held Louis in the highest regard and thought he'd be world famous if he'd made his career in America. But Louis ultimately preferred to be in Ireland. And he still achieved world fame. Two extraordinary musicians and very nice people who had time for me when I was a boy full of questions.
Great story from a very musical family……I got lessons from John Wadham for about a year in the 70’s and seeing this video makes me feel privileged to have done so🥁….what great musicians

Incredible musicians Wadham was easily the greatest drummer to have ever lived in Ireland World class and so relaxed in his playing
Johnny was a great Teacher, Mentor and Father figure! Love this video!
Amazing, managed to catch Louis in JJ's about ten years ago. Now he's gone and so is the pub.
What great players all!
An invaluable addition to the RUclips ouvre of Louis, His fingering is clearly recorded. thanks for this.
Lovely hair God bless it
Amazing to see new footage of Louis. Is there any more?
👍👍
Bravi
Awful tone
in this instance, i have to agree. Most unusual for Louis.
