Knotty Pines and Down & Outs at Cookstown, 20 Dec. 2014

Thanks to Richard Leeman of the Down and Out Bluegrass Band for the news that on this coming Saturday (20 Dec.) they and the Knotty Pine String Band (above) will be appearing together at the Burnavon Theatre, Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, in the 'Bluegrass comes to Town' show, starting at 8.00 p.m. Tickets (£10.00) can be booked online.

As Richard says on the Down and Outs Facebook, this should be a great night of music and craic as the band's last show of 2014. The Burnavon Theatre's online programme says:

Two of Ireland’s best bluegrass bands come together to present an outstanding showcase of music from the Americas. The Knotty Pine String Band and the Down and Out Bluegrass Band have been working the circuit for the past 25 years collectively, bringing a wealth of bluegrass and old time music knowledge to the stage. If toe-tapping, knee-clapping, finger-picking music is for you, then don’t miss this concert.
