Down and Out Bluegrass Band on YouTube - and ready for the road

Thanks to Richard Leeman, organiser of the monthly 'Bluegrass in Belfast' sessions at the Errigle Inn, who sends this news:

The Down And Out Bluegrass Band are now on YouTube. Here's a link to a video from Monday night 4 July, playing the Stanley Brothers classic 'How mountain girls can love'. This is the first time we've ever recorded ourselves, and we plan to post more videos in the coming weeks and months. If you want you can be notified of new videos by subscribing to our YouTube channel.

The attached photo was taken at a recent gig in Cloughmills, Co. Antrim. Band members are, from left to right, Mal Duffin, Richard Leeman, Roy Brown, and Howard Walker.

We're going to be playing at 'Bluegrass on the Walls' in Derry on Saturday 6 August from 1.00 to 4.00 p.m. as part of the Maiden City Festival, something we're really looking forward to. We're also taking bookings for other gigs all over Ireland and can be contacted through our website, on Facebook, or by telephone (07779 721643; +44 7779 721643 from the south).
