Bending the Strings in Balla, Co. Mayo, 6 June 2011

Bending the Strings report that they

... are looking forward to a great night of bluegrass next Monday night (6 June) in Mannion's bar, Balla, Co. Mayo. This is the group's first gig in Mannion's, and as they are due to play the Balla Bluegrass Festival later this year, they are looking forward to this first gig, particularly as they have heard such great reports of Mannion's.

There is also another reason for Bending the Strings to look forward to the gig... They are being joined for this gig by mandolin picker supreme Gerry Madden [on right in photo, right] from Waterford. The band and Gerry have been having some great picking session together in the last few months, and this gig will be a chance to play some of the tunes they have been getting together.

Bending the Strings with Gerry Madden will be looking forward to meeting all their friends next Monday night; hope to see you all there!
