Great job Richard,

I found the site from a link on Twotimepolka.com.
I have been looking for a way of finding bluegrass and/or mandolin gigs in Ireland, my prayers are answered.

Is there an e-mail address to send gig information to?

Regards,
Sonny

Hi, Sonny,

Glad to be of service! Yes: you can e-mail gig information to me via the link 'The editor', near the end of the set of links on the right-hand side of the BIB. All the best, and I look forward to hearing from you,

Richard Hawkins

GO! GO! GO! See the Tennessee Hennessees as soon as possible. These guys are great, a little unhinged maybe, but they can't help it if they're crazy! Great playing and singing, and a fresh selection of material make these guys an act to be enjoyed by many.
If you haven't seen the T. Hennessees, go out of your way to do so. I will the next time I'm in Ireland!

Lot of great stuff to go and see there - thanks for the pointers. It's going to be a great December.

Good luck to Banjo Bill in Frisco too..

See you soon,

Hello t here,
I want to put some information on the blog about Hungry Hill, the Canadian bluegrass band's tour of Ireland and UK this year. Please let me know how to do this!

Hi, Ita,

Send me any news you want to see on the BIB, and I'll handle it; use the link to 'The editor'. This is pretty much the same system as the original Bluegrass Blog.

Richard

Hi Richard, I can't quite figure out another way to reach you. Your blog is great, and I see that you are interested in the same music as I am - I am buddies with Foghorn Stringband and the Stairwell Sisters, and was in the Flat Mountain Girls until we recently disbanded. I wanted to let you know that my bluegrass band, Whiskey Puppy, is touring the Netherlands in March. Would you be willing to post about our tour on your blog? Details are on our website: www.whiskeypuppy.com or myspace.com/whiskeypuppymusic. I also just set up a blog ... I think... at www.whiskeypuppyinthenetherlands@blogspot.com

... with details there. Or email me at rachelgold145@gmail.com

Thanks!!!!
