The Claire Lynch Band (USA) heads the bill at this year's Appalachian and Bluegrass Music Festival at the Ulster American Folk Park, Omagh, Co. Tyrone (4-6 Sept. 2009), and is clearly looking forward to the experience - which should be a treat for everyone present. Read the band's latest e-bulletin here, and check their MySpace site, where Claire's glorious voice handles the fine song 'Kennesaw Line', among others.

And if you don't see a banjo in the photo above, don't falter: Jim Hurst, best known as an award-winning guitarist, is also a fine and original banjo-player.
