Roger Green of Annapolis Bluegrass Coalition reports:

'Airfield was special, that's for sure. It's probably the longest show we've ever played, but a more enthusiastic audience couldn't be found anywhere... Someone took a short video clip of us performing at the Sirius Art Centre in Cobh. There's one for us and one for the Gill Family. We have a concert in Chestertown, Maryland on 18 Nov. We're working towards doing a live CD there... For the next couple of months, we'll be going back into practice mode and working on new material. I need to sit down and write some more songs.'

Our post of 30 October read:

Annapolis Bluegrass Coalition delivered the best part of three hours of solid bluegrass at Airfield on Sunday 29 October to an audience that filled all seats and the back wall of the hall, gave them an enthusiastic response from the outset, and wouldn't let them go without several encores. This was all the more impressive, because the delighted audience included very few of the Dublin bluegrass mafia. Thanks to Sancho Gallilei at Airfield for putting on this fine band, of whom he had no previous experience; the results fully justified the chance taken, and ABC has done a good job for the future of live bluegrass shows in Dublin.
