Special C. open their tour on the John Murray show

Thanks to 'Bluegrass in Ireland' for the news that the very first performance of the Special Consensus (USA) tour, which begins tomorrow (Friday 9 Jan.), will be on the John Murray Show on RTÉ Radio 1, shortly after 9.00 a.m., when they will play a couple of songs from their award-winning album Country boy: a bluegrass tribute to John Denver.

Tour organiser Nigel Martyn of Belfast reports: 'Some of the gigs have already sold out, which is amazing news for bluegrass in this country.'
