Two major summer events at Naul

Colette at the Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre, Naul, Co. Dublin, reports:

A couple of events for the blog -

Friday 26 June: The Wilders [left]

Renowned as the 'hillbilly hurricane', The Wilders in full, unstoppable flight are firmly established as Edinburgh Fringe favourites after three sell-out runs at the Famous Spiegeltent. The Kansas City, Missouri, four-piece are back to thrill capacity crowds again following sell-out shows everywhere. Playing storming roots-of-country and old-time with a pure essence of early rockabilly, they deliver a blistering fiddle /banjo /guitar /dobro /slap bass hoedown.
Doors open 7.30 p.m. Performance 8.30 p.m. Adm. €16.

Monday 20 July: Bluegrass Patriots [right]
Doors open 7.30 p.m. Performance 8.30 p.m. Adm. €16

BIB editor's note: The home page on the Patriots' website mentions their whole tour in Ireland, beginning with the Athy festival (9-12 July), and says:

The band will celebrate 30 years of performances in October 2009, and no one has been more receptive of their music than the warm, friendly and musically talented people of Ireland!

Photos from the Patriots' 2003 and 2006 trips to Ireland can also be seen on their website.
