Jon Glik in Ireland from 29 August

Orrin Star reports from the USA:

I'm writing to let you know that one of the greatest bluegrass fiddlers of my acquaintance - Jon Glik - will be coming to Ireland with his girlfriend for a two-week vacation starting August 29th.

(Jon performed and recorded long ago with Del McCoury - and Ronnie McCoury's popular instrumental 'Baltimore Johnny' was written about him.)

In any case, he's a fantastic player and a very nice, humble guy, and he's up for doing anything while he's over - so I encourage you to perhaps contact him if you have anything he might participate in or sit in on.

He can be reached via his girlfriend's e-mail.

BIB editor's note: In addition, Jon Glik has played and recorded with Dave Evans, Frank Wakefield, the Forbes Family, Mike Garris, Gary Ferguson, Bob Paisley, and the Hard Travelers, and has performed throughout the US and abroad.
