Baltimore Fiddle Fair, 7-10 May 2009

The Baltimore Fiddle Fair poster (left) can now be downloaded from the Fair's website, where you can also get season tickets to cover the whole event.

The BIB indicated two weeks ago what this year's Fair would bring for the old-time music and Cajun fan; note that the Foghorn Trio will consist of Caleb Klauder and Stephen 'Sammy' Lind with Nadine Landry on bass; she was in Ireland last autumn playing bass with Hungry Hill (Canada) on their many shows here.

Other acts on the programme with a link to old-time and bluegrass include Laura Cortese (right), who among other things has played bass for Uncle Earl; and Any Old Time from Cork, with Matt Cranitch (fiddle), Mick Daly (guitar, vocals) - both past or present members of the Lee Valley String Band - and Dave Hennessy (melodeon).
