Uri Kohen reports from Westport, Co. Mayo:

Last Saturday (27.2.2010) we struck gold in Westport once again. As part of the unfinished music series in Geraghty's pub we invited to the stage David Hope & the Henchmen. David performed in the pub several times in the past with different outfits, and proved to be well loved by the Westport people.

Recently David joined forces with the Henchmen, and together they master their own unique sound, playing at least ten different instruments between them. They perform original music and classic folk numbers by the likes of Dylan, Young, and Cash.

We in the Electric Cave Production like their show so much that we invited them to be the opening act on the main stage of this year's Westport Folk and Bluegrass Festival.
