Josh Williams does it again

We mentioned in the BIB post of 15 October that among the honours at the 2008 IBMA Awards Show, Josh Williams received the award as Guitar Player of the Year. Many people in Ireland will remember Josh as mandolin player with the Special Consensus (USA) a few years ago, on more than one tour in Ireland.

When the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America (SPBGMA) was holding its annual convention in Nashville earlier this month, Josh was already committed to be in Boston with his band at the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival. So his wife Jenny had to be at the SPBGMA Awards Show, to accept Josh's fifth consecutive Guitar Performer of the Year Award from SPBGMA.
