Bluegrass and Roots Music Night at the Spectrum Centre, Belfast, 3 Nov. 2011

Thanks to Jacqui Roberts for a reminder of the Bluegrass and Roots Music Night organised by Julie Andrews, to be held on Thursday 3 November at the Spectrum Centre, Belfast. It is intended that this will open the way to lessons and jam sessions in bluegrass music.

The Bluegrass and Roots Music Night, billed as 'an evening of bluegrass music and culture', runs from 7.00 to 10.00 p.m. on 3 Nov., and includes sets by the Broken Strings Band and Down and Out Bluegrass Band; a short talk by Billy Kennedy, author of an acclaimed series of books on the Scots-Irish in North America; and 'Flaming Sticks' (Natalie Chambers).
