Cedar Hill in Ireland, Sept. 2010

Thanks to Roger Ryan of the Country Music Association of Ireland, who reports:

Following their starring role at the Ulster American Folk Park on 3, 4, and 5 September, the Cedar Hill bluegrass band will play two dates in southern Ireland before moving on for some further dates in Wales. They will play at the Blackrock GAA Club, Cork, on Tuesday 7 Sept. and at Colfer's Pub, Carrig-on-Bannow, Co. Wexford, on Wednesday 8 Sept.

Formed by its patriarch and mandolin player Frank Ray some forty years ago, Cedar Hill is a traditional bluegrass band made up of six accomplished musicians and singers who have stayed true to their Ozark roots. Now settled into their own in the mainstream of the national bluegrass scene, Cedar Hill has been pleasing audiences everywhere with their original, emotional, and exciting brand of traditional bluegrass music.
