Bluegrass wins in BBC TV talent show

Katherine Selby of UKBluegrass.com reports that the Carrivick Sisters from Devon have won their round of a new BBC talent show, 'Upstaged'. To do so, they had to perform for six hours inside a glass box at the Millennium Square in central Bristol on two successive days, and will be continuing today. Anyone within reach has been able to join them for a jam inside the box.

Charlotte and Laura Carrivick are only 18 but play mandolin, guitar, fiddle, and dobro with technique, knowledge, and soul. They made a great impression at last year's European World of Bluegrass Festival in the Netherlands. Thanks to UKBluegrass.com for the news, and to Jan Michielsen of Four Wheel Drive for bringing it to our attention.
