Athy 2012 - an important postscript

With the Carlton Abbey Hotel no longer available and no apparent lessening in the attendance at this year's Athy Bluegrass Festival, it may have been more of a squeeze in the auditorium than last year but the enthusiastic atmosphere was even more concentrated as a result. Congratulations and thanks to Tony O'Brien and his team, to the artists taking part, and to everyone who made this event such an enjoyable success.

There's a shadow on the weekend, unfortunately, for one member of the audience who mislaid a digital camera during the Saturday night concert. To anyone who may have picked it up for safe keeping and is wondering how to restore it to its owner - please contact either the BIB editor (e-mail) or Tony O'Brien (e-mail).
