Steve Kaufman in Dublin, 8-9 July: UPDATE

Thanks to Cathal Cusack for the following news:

The Guitar Festival of Ireland is breaking free of its classical and fingerstyle origins, with Steve Kaufman coming over from the USA for a workshop and concert. The festival website has lists of all the artists, venues, dates etc. Anyone interested can book a concert or workshop from the website or contact Alec for information.

Steve is lined up to conduct a workshop on Saturday 8 July at 10 a.m. and perform in concert on Sunday 9 July at 9 p.m. The venue for the workshop is Walton's New School, South Great George's Street, and the concert is at Renards, South Frederick Street, NOT in the Holiday Inn Dublin Centre, as was first announced.

Steve is an outstanding teacher and the only three-time winner of the National Flatpicking Championships held at Winfield - it's not to be missed. If anyone wants to know more about him, his website or the Festival page has all the information.

BIB editor's note: The Niall Toner Band are among other artists taking part in the Festival.
