A week of old-time music around Dublin
Dublin's Bill Whelan is the mainstay of old-time music here and well respected further afield (he will teach the old-time banjo course at this year's Sore Fingers October Weekend, the fifth time he has done so; read his SF bio here). Thanks, then, to Bill for this schedule of a busy week in the Dublin area:Sun. 31st July Bill Whelan & Friends, the Burnaby, Greystones, Co. Wicklow, 4.30-6.30 p.m. (as part of Greystones Americana & Roots Weekend); adm. free
Mon. 1st Aug. The OXO Boys Stringband, the Red Stables, St Anne's Park, Dublin 3, 2.00 p.m. (as part of Northside Music Festival); adm. free
Thurs. 4th Aug. The OXO Boys & Guests at the Poor Mouth Folk Club (folk club with featured guests every month), Stag's Head, Dame Court, Dublin 2, 9.00 p.m.; adm. €6.00
Fri. 5th Aug. The OXO Boys, Bandstand, St Stephen's Green (lunchtime 1.00-2.00 p.m.); adm. free
Thanks to Bill also for the picture below of the Hat-Trick Stringband, who played a 'mystery gig' at the Grand Social venue in Dublin recently: (l-r) Stephanie Coleman (USA; fiddle), Cleek Schrey (USA; fiddle & piano), and Bill (5-string banjo). Bill adds:
I will give you advance notice of when they will be back again but please advise people (through the blog) not to miss them.

I will be in Dublin April 22-23 and May 3-8 and thereabouts. Are there any old-time jams happening?
