Honky-tonk music at the Mill Theatre, Dundrum, 21 Feb. 2015

Not bluegrass, but thanks to Gerry Fitzpatrick for letting us know that Chris Meehan & his Redneck Friends (above) will be playing at the Mill Theatre, Dundrum, Dublin 14, on Saturday 21 February. Gerry says: 'Some of the best musicians in the land play some of what I would call "tasty country music".' If you like honky-tonk and western swing (as many bluegrassers do), this just might be your shot of bourbon.

This show is presented by Paul Lee's Musiclee.ie agency, most of whose shows take place at the DC Music Club, 20 Camden Row, Dublin 2. Acts appearing there in the next few weeks include bluesman Clive Barnes and Gerry's own band, Minnie & the Illywhackers. Later in the year Musiclee.ie will be presenting Tim Eriksen (2 Aug.) and old-time banjo-and-fiddle duo Sara Grey & Kieron Means (28 Oct.).
