'Bluegrass on the Walls', a welcome feature of the Maiden City Festival in Derry since 2000, will be held this year on Saturday 6 August, from 1.00 to 4.00 p.m. at various points in the historic centre of the city and the circuit of the walls. Bands taking part will be announced shortly.

Following on from the successful 'Maiden Grass' evening concert last year, featuring all-female bands, this year's evening concert will be on the 'Freshly Mown Grass' theme, drawn from a new cut of younger artists.
