A fiddler wanted: twice

Thanks to UKBluegrass.com for the news that the Boxcar Preachers are seeking a stand-in fiddler for their appearances at the Guinness International Bluegrass Festival (23-26 August) at Dunmore East, Co. Waterford, and the Appalachian and Bluegrass Music Festival (31 August-2 September) at Omagh, Co. Tyrone. The pay is 'decent and includes food, lodging, and some of the transportation to/from Dublin'. Anybody interested should contact the Texas band through their MySpace page.

And Johan Larsson of Stockholm, Sweden, a musician with his own recording studio, sends word through the European Bluegrass Music Association that he is looking for a fiddle-player for a new song he's working on. He adds that if the right fiddler happens to live outside Sweden,'it would be great if the person have the possibility to record in a studio/home studio and than send me the audiofile.' Contact Johan by e-mail.
