Uproot Hootenanny: Brian Bolen, Brian Trew, Rolando Willimann, David Welch, Billy Gilmore

Mark 'Marko' O'Mahony of Prison Love renews the news first posted on 31 May:

Late notice of tonight's gig with Uproot Hootenanny (USA) @ the Cobblestone.

It’s midweek madness at the Cobblestone on Wednesday 8 June with our friends from Florida, Uproot Hootenanny, hitting Dublin city on their 2011 Irish tour. Playing a fine blend of bluegrass, blues, and classic rock, they produce 'a sound you could work up a sweat just listening to' (Terry Turner, Florida Beach 92.7 FM).

Fans of the Hickory Project will be familiar with the blinding playing and blinding smile of the great Billy Gilmore! This 5-piece comes tooled up with the classic stringband lineup of fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar and dog-house bass. All savage players and no strangers to good clean fun!

Going to be a great night for sure...

When: Wed. 8 June. Doors 8.30 p.m.; to 11.30 p.m.
Who: Prison Love on at 9.00 p.m.; Uproot Hootenanny on at 10.00 p.m.
Where: The Cobblestone, Smithfield Market, Dublin 1
How much: €10
