Tennessee Hob plays to full house at North Wales Bluegrass Festival

Press release:


Tom Hanway and Karl Deeter of Tennessee Hob

Tennessee Hob (Tom Hanway and Karl Deeter: USA/Ireland) recently played to a full house at the 18th Annual North Wales Bluegrass Festival (7-9 July 2006) in Conwy, North Wales (UK). Tom and Karl played three shows, gave a 'Meet the Band' workshop, and jammed with everybody till the wee hours. The shows featured their brother-style duets, hot instrumentals, and Karl's off-the-cuff stories and humour. A brilliant time was had by all. Tennessee Hob has upcoming festivals in Athy, Carrig-on-Bannow, Derry, and Dunmore East. Contact: Tom Hanway.

Apologies to Tom; the above news reached us on 13 July immediately before leaving for the Athy Festival, leaving no opportunity to put it on the BIB earlier. As we report elsewhere, the Derry festival, including 'Bluegrass on the Walls', is now regrettably cancelled for 2006. The following news has just reached us.
