New Dublin monthly session

A new session for old-time American, bluegrass, and folk music will be held at the Punch Bowl, Booterstown, Co. Dublin, on the first Wednesday of each month, from 9.45 p.m. The resident group consists of Noreen McGrane (autoharp and vocals), Brian McGrane (guitar and vocals), Jenny McGrane (guitar and vocals), Gerry Fitzpatrick (dobro), and Con Butler (bass).

The next gig will be on 6 September. For any other details, contact Noreen via this link. The Punch Bowl is on the Merrion Road between Sandymount and Blackrock, at the bottom of Booterstown Avenue, directly opposite the Booterstown DART station, and very accessible by public or private transport.

BIB editor's note: Noreen and Brian have been strong contributors to the old-time and bluegrass sessions at the Cobblestone and Rosie O'Grady's, and early in 2005 they organised a highly successful concert at Booterstown in aid of Tsunami victims.
