Westport Folk and Bluegrass Festival, 29 June-1 July

Thanks to Electric Cave Productions, Westport, Co. Mayo, holds its first Folk and Bluegrass Festival on the weekend 29 June-1 July. The programme (outside illustrated above and inside below) gives a good sense of the style and care that seems to be going into this event.

By clicking on the images you can see everything that'll be happening; we'll just remark that bluegrass and old-time music is well represented by the belaurelled Lee Valley String Band, Tim Rogers (of the RDSB), Lena Ulman, Mick Daly, and the Colonel Bullshot Bluegrass Band. This looks a very promising addition to our festival calendar, in a neat town! For further info, contact Uri Kohen at 087-7570958.
