On Thursday night, 20 November, Hazard Hollow, featuring Ruth Dillon, Bernie O’Mahony, and Tom Hanway will play traditional and original bluegrass and country songs at the Phoenix Folk Club, at Downey’s, Grange Cross, 343 Ballyfermot Road, Dublin. The show begins at 9.00 pm.

Ruth Dillon (vocals/guitar) will perform a few of her original songs and sing duets with Bernie, backed by Tom Hanway's hot banjo. Ruth, originally from Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, has toured the world with folksinger Dolores Keane and played on several projects with Tom in recent years, recording with Bernie and Ivor Ottley (fiddle) on Hazard Hollow’s debut CD, which will be available at the show.

Bernie O’Mahony (vocals/guitar), originally from Waterford, is a professional studio singer and recording artist who has performed with Sean Tyrrell’s highly acclaimed show 'The Midnight Court'. She and Ruth have been collaborating in Galway in recent years, performing at the Dunmore East International Bluegrass Festival, touring in Ireland and America, and holding down a monthly residency at the prestigious Crane Bar in Galway.

Ruth, Bernie, and Tom are a harmony tour de force, with each taking turns singing lead and backing the others in the grand traditions of American bluegrass and country music.
