Knotty Pines back at full strength for 2011

Thanks to Declan O'Kane, fiddler of the Knotty Pine String Band of Omagh, Co. Tyrone, for some good news for the start of 2011:

Happy new year to all! The Pines are back at full strength again with Tony Hutchinson [top right in photo above] returning to the band after his recuperation from heart surgery. He is fit, well, and raring to go. We have our Thursday night residency in Sally’s, John St., Omagh, and look forward to seeing you all in the coming year.

The Knotty Pines have a mission statement on their Facebook which more of us might think about: 'We insist on creating a show which lets fans enjoy what we do.'
