Foghorn Stringband tour, 6-14 May

The Foghorn Stringband, the powerful five-piece ensemble from the Portland, Oregon, area, are back for another tour of Ireland with their encyclopaedic repertoire of classic old-time material; their strong sound, honed at plenty of dances; and their three CDs, including the latest, Weiser sunrise. Full details are on the BIB calendar. Note in particular the Fiddle Fair at Baltimore, Co. Cork, on 13 and 14 May.
