Thanks to Niall Toner for this photo of the grand finale on Sunday of the 22nd Athy Bluegrass Festival, taken from the middle of the auditorium. The BIB editor (whose shoulder blades are making a dent in the festival banner) can testify that it was a little crowded on stage. Read more about the photo and the event on Niall's own blog.Labels: Bands, Festivals, Media, Visiting bands

It should be said that this year's session's were really great in Athy which is beautiful, and the people loved the music. I really enjoyed the choice of venue, and the car park, and the pub and in the end the auditorium of the GAA were as perfect for this particular style of Bluegrass. We loved the hospitality and the foreign sounds.
