Westport bluegrass festival on the air waves

Good news from the Far West:

The countdown to the 6th Westport Folk & Bluegrass Festival is truly on its way with one week to go. This Sunday (24 June), Uri Kohen, the festival founder and producer, will be guest on two radio shows to promote the festival.

At 1.00 p.m. he will make a guest appearance on Westport Community Radio, where he will talk about the festival programme and events. Later on that day, at 6.00 p.m., he will join Werner Levon on Castlebar Community Radio as a presenter for two hours of music and chat about the festival and the music scene in Westport. On both shows Uri will play some of the highlights fans can be expected to hear in this year's festival.

The festival production team are publishing daily updates on this year's festival and posting archive clips from previous years on the festival Facebook page. See you all in Westport next Friday!
