Question: What honor did a famous Northern Irish singer-songwriter, instrumentalist and producer in Northern Ireland receive, who worked together with the American trumpet and flugelhorn player Bill Atwood?
Context: Arthur Stewart Farmer (August 21, 1928 – October 4, 1999) was an American jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player.  He also played flumpet, a trumpet–flugelhorn combination specially designed for him.  He and his identical twin brother, double bassist Addison Farmer, started playing professionally while in high school.  Art gained greater attention after the release of a recording of his composition "Farmer's Market" in 1952.  He subsequently moved from Los Angeles to New York, where he performed and recorded with musicians such as Horace Silver, Sonny Rollins, and Gigi Gryce and became known principally as a bebop player. The Northern Ireland Football League Cup, also known as the Irish League Cup, and the BetMcClean.com League Cup is a national football knock-out cup competition in Northern Ireland open to the 40 Northern Ireland Football League clubs.  It is the third-highest rated competition in domestic Northern Irish football after the NIFL Premiership and Irish Cup.  It should not be confused with the Irish League Floodlit Cup which ran from 1987–88 to 1997–98 initially under the sponsorship of Budweiser and latterly Coca-Cola.  Unlike the Irish Cup, the competition does not have a berth for UEFA Europa League qualification, however the winners qualify for the next season's all-Ireland Setanta Sports Cup.  The cup is operated by the Northern Ireland Football League, who in 2013 took over the administration from the Irish Football Association (IFA) for the 2013–14 season onwards, after which the cup was renamed as the Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL) Cup.
