Anyone for Nashville in June?

Thanks to Roger Ryan of the Country Music Association of Ireland for this news, and for inviting Irish bluegrass entertainers to become involved:

The Global Artists Show is a showcase of artists from around the world and is usually staged at The Stage, on Broadway in Nashville. Each artist gets an opportunity to sing two or three songs, and the event is always attended by media and record people from various countries.

Over the years people like Justin McGurk, John McNicholl, Colm Kirwan, the Murphys, etc., have represented Ireland there. If the response is good enough I would like to put on an Irish show at some venue in Nashville also at that time. This is Fan Fair week [9-12 June 2011] so the town will be packed with country music fans.

If you're interested, contact Roger by e-mail.
