THE bluegrass package tour project for 2011: update

If you missed the 1 July deadline for the proposed bluegrass package tour to Kentucky this autumn, don't despair; the offer has been extended for one week. To recap:

Brian Ingarfield of the award-winning travel agency Tour America in Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1, has planned the details of a trip to the six-day Jerusalem Ridge Bluegrass Celebration festival (27 Sept.-2 Oct. 2011), set in the Kentucky hills around the house where Bill Monroe spent his childhood. Full details of the festival are on its website.

Provisional details of the package are as follows:
Departure from Dublin 26 September

Session in 'The Barn' in Rosine, KY
Approximate price €1750 per person (including all taxes and charges)

This is an amazing bargain for all that is on offer, not to mention the unique event. The price of course depends on a sufficient number of people taking up the proposal.
