Dublin Bluegrass Collective: forthcoming gigs (29 June, 4 July)

Thanks to Aran Sheehan of the Dublin Bluegrass Collective band for news of two major gigs for them in Dublin in the next ten days.

The first is on Sunday 29 June in Sweeneys, Dame St., Dublin 2; the DBC will be playing from 5.00 to 6.00 p.m. on the ground floor of Sweeneys, and admission is free. The gig's page on Sweeneys' website gives a good account of the band's origins and current lineup (Patrick Simpson, guitar; Aran Sheehan, mandolin; Luke Coffey, banjo; Niall Hughes, guitar; Jan Brtník, double bass).

The second - also from 5.00 to 6.00 p.m. - will be on Friday 4 July in the U.S. ambassador's residence, Phoenix Park, to mark Independence Day.
