Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike, who made a big impact at the Athy Bluegrass Festival a couple of years ago, will be the headline act at the 17th Phil Murphy Weekend at Colfer's, Carrig on Bannow, Co. Wexford, the last weekend in July. Thanks to Dee Hallett of the BBMA for the news.

The Weekend will be the only appearance by VS+LP in Ireland in the course of their three-week European tour (20 July to 10 August), with all remaining shows in the UK and Germany.
