Using the Bluegrass Ireland Blog

The front page of the BIB shows ten days of posts. A post more than ten days old automatically moves to the archive; so if you've already used the BIB and can't find a post that you saw before, check the links to the archive sections or use the search slot at the very top of the blog. Click on any photo to see an enlarged version. Click on the label at the end of a post to see all posts that have a similar label. To comment on any post, click on the 'Comments' symbol at the end of it.

The most important feature is the calendar, which is updated at least once a week. To reach it, use one of the links to the right of this. To send in news for the calendar - or for any other reason - contact the editor. For the solid, enduring features of the scene in this island, as distinct from the flow of events, use another of the links to reach Kevin Gill's Bluegrass in Ireland website.

For UK news, use the links to UKBluegrass.com (which has an events calendar) or the BBMA website; for news from all over Europe, the European Bluegrass Blog; and for the hottest news from the Mother Country, the original Bluegrass Blog. Down the right-hand side of the BIB, below the lists of links, previous posts, and archives and the sitemeter you'll find a panel showing the headlines of the latest articles on the BB. So: in general, US news is posted on the Bluegrass Ireland Blog only in exceptional circumstances.
