The Special Consensus: here in the new year

Thanks to Sharon Loughrin, who reports:

Things are quiet on the bluegrass front up here, though going by the blog you have plenty of entertainment in Dublin; you'll have to send some of it up North to us!

Just in this morning was the programme for the Market Place Theatre in Armagh - some of your readers might be interested to know that Special Consensus are playing a Ragin' Cajun night on Sat. 31 Jan. (as usual the food is optional but is a nice treat).

Perhaps this would be a good idea for a Christmas pressie for a bluegrass fan?

Arnie and I went to see Chatham County Line last Saturday night in Belfast - an absolutely brilliant performance and they had a specially-released-for-the UK-tour CD: it includes one of the best renditions of the old Bill and Charlie Monroe hit 'What would you give in exchange for your soul'.
