Well Enough Alone - a new Dublin bluegrass band

Thanks to Martin McWhorter, who reports:

Well Enough Alone, a brand new bluegrass band coming together in Dublin, will be playing at Bewley's Theatre (upstairs from the cafe), Grafton Street, Dublin 2, on Thursday 27 August at 8.00 p.m. along with Oil and Blood, a Dublin-based Americana/country/southern-rock outfit.

On Saturday 15 August, Well Enough Alone are also opening at Whelan's for the Cotton Pickin' Rodeo Clowns. The band's MySpace site at present lists Martin himself and Hugh Dean Taggart (guitar). Their influences are Tony Rice, Bill Monroe, Del McCoury, Open Road, the Country Gentlemen, Jimmy Martin (and, just possibly, Frank Wakefield?). Dublin needs bands with these influences right now, and we look forward to Well Enough Alone becoming a fixture on the scene.
