Dailey & Vincent for Omagh this September


Many thanks to Daphne McAllister for the news that the repeatedly multi-award-winning Dailey & Vincent (USA) will be the headline act for this year's Appalachian & Bluegrass Music Festival at the Ulster American Folk Park, Omagh, Co. Tyrone. At the 2010 IBMA Awards Show, they received the awards for Entertainer of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year, and Album of the Year, and shared in the awards for Recorded Event of the Year and Best Graphic Design for a Recorded Project. They have been nominated for nine awards in next month's SPBGMA convention. Their excellent band is focused on (but by no means confined to) D&V's outstanding duet singing.

Without an official release from Omagh, the news would be incredible - except that (1) the Festival often does pull off this kind of coup, and (2) Daphne checked D&V's tour schedule, and the Festival is right there at 3-4 September.

Both Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent have appeared in Ireland before: Dailey at Omagh with Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and Vincent in Dublin with Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder. They are booked to appear in Gstaad, Switzerland, in the week after this year's Omagh festival.
