Tennessee Hennessees on MySpace

The Tennessee Hennessees of Lurgan, Co. Armagh, first appeared on the BIB back in January, when they attracted some distinguished commendation from friends in the USA and Europe. They now have a MySpace site, which is worth a visit for the slide show alone - and make sure you read all the captions.

As well as the Athy and Dunmore East festivals this year, the band's scheduled appearances include the Flaxmill Yardfest in Dungiven, Co. Londonderry, on 8 September, and an appearance at IBMA's World of Bluegrass in Nashville in October, where the Hennessees' mandolinist, Sean McKerr, will also be playing bass for the World International Blue Grass Band.
