Going to IBMA's World of Bluegrass 2009?

If you're going from Ireland to Nashville, TN, for IBMA's World of Bluegrass 2009, while you're there give a call to Frank Ray of Cedar Hill at 314 422 5129, or Pam Bunch of Nickeltown Music at 479 544 0053.

Cedar Hill hope to be able to get to Ireland in 2010 (see the BIB post of 30 August), so they'll be glad to meet any of the Irish bluegrass community. Their showcase schedule during World of Bluegrass is currently as follows (check when you get there in case of developments):

Nickeltown Music, Level 1, Room 107: Monday 28 Sept. 11.45 p.m. Tuesday...11:15
Nickeltown Music, Level 1, Room 107: Tuesday 29 Sept., 11.15 p.m.
Good Home Grown Music, Level 2, Room 209/210: Wednesday 30 Sept., 1:15 a.m.

Pam Bunch and Nickeltown Music also represent other artists including Bull Harman & Bull's Eye. Bull is a splendid lead guitarist, who can be seen on the St Louis Flatpick website; one of his original tunes is titled 'Fighting Irishman', and if we're lucky we may see him too over here some time. Perhaps at one of the guitar festivals?
