Music at Dublin arts centres: Naul and Airfield

At 7.30 p.m. on Thursday 12 July the Séamus Ennis Cultural Centre, Naul, Co. Dublin, will open its doors for a concert at 8.30 p.m. by the outstanding Red Wine from Genoa, Italy, one of the most experienced bluegrass bands to be found anywhere. Over the following few days they will be among the headliners at the Athy Bluegrass Festival, at which they made a great impression a few years ago.

Since first playing Athy, Red Wine have made a hit at the Omagh Festival, not to mention two appearances at the IBMA's World of Bluegrass. (They were also in magnificent form at the EBMA's European World of Bluegrass Festival a few weeks ago.) A real treat for anyone who loves bluegrass - or, for that matter, Italy...

And Gary Ferguson & Dave Miner will be playing at the Centre on Friday 20 July. Full details on 11 July! For more information, visit the website of the Séamus Ennis Cultural Centre, Naul, Co. Dublin. Tel: +353 (0) 1 8020898; e-mail.

At 8.00 p.m. on Thursday 12 July the Arts Centre at Airfield, Upper Kilmacud Road, Dundrum, Dublin 14 (venue of the recent successful Urban Roots II festival) presents Eleanor Shanley with Frankie Lane & Paul Kelly in concert.

The rugged detachment of a pair of Irish cowboys, of whom the Irish Times has said: "Their playing has passion & soul, their performance together is electrifying!", is challenged by the charms of a lovely lady from Leitrim.

Admission €18. Tickets available in advance: 10.00 a.m.–5.00 p.m., Tuesday–Sunday, from the ticket kiosk at Airfield. Booking: (01) 298 4301 or e-mail. Two weeks later, on Thursday 26 July, Gary Ferguson & Dave Miner (see above) will be at Airfield in concert.
