Bluestack Mountain Boys in Westport, 15 Jan. 2011
Uri Kohen of Electric Cave Production reports from Westport, Co. Mayo:
The Bluestack Mountain Boys came to Westport for the first time in January 2010. I knew Aran, as he was a regular visitor to Westport Folk & Bluegrass Festival. I was more then happy to 'pay' him back by booking him for a gig.
Exactly a year later, Aran and Patrick came back to Geraghty's pub, Westport, in the new look of the band with a strong driving sound of bass and banjo to be added to the already great sound of mandolin, guitar, and superb bluegrass singing.
As a music promoter that found the way to the bluegrass world, I feel that the Bluestack Boys are the living proof that bluegrass music is still alive, vibrant, and true for today as it was years ago. May bluegrass music live forever!

Hi Richard! I would just like mention it was very nice returning to Westport "Electric Cave Productions" with Conor Daly(Banjo), Will Comerford(Bass), and Aran Sheehan(Mandolin). We are looking forward to contributing to this year's "Westport Bluegrass Festival" on the 24th of June, 2011! It was only this time last year the "Bluestack Mountain Boys" consisted of Aran and myself and we performed with legendary Tom Hanway(USA)on 5-string banjo in Geraghty's pub! A great venue and good sound. Thanks Uri.
