2nd Greystones Americana & Roots Weekend, 29 July-1 Aug. 2011

Thanks to Conor O'Donnell, organiser of the Greystones Americana & Roots Weekend, for good news of this year's event, which will be held from 29 July to 1 August 2011 at Greystones, Co. Wicklow.

The Beach House remains the focal point, and this year's Weekend brings in more venues, including the Burnaby and the Greystones Theatre. The distinguished lineup includes the Niall Toner Band, the Bluestack Mountain Boys, Phelim Drew & the Undertakers, The Big Muddy, Wayne Waits, the legendary Al O'Donnell, and Wookalily (below). Look out for further additions.

These and more details - including timetable, links and contact data, a location map, and a very full programme for kids (a feature which more festivals should consider adopting) - are on the Weekend's website.
