The Black Bottle String Band at Dunmore East, Sat. 28 Mar. 2015

Thanks to Mick Daly, organiser of the annual Guinness International Bluegrass Festival at Dunmore East, Co. Waterford, for the news that Dublin's Black Bottle String Band (above) will be playing at the Ocean Hotel, Dock Rd, Dunmore East, on Saturday 28 March.

The Ocean is traditionally one of the main venues for the Dunmore East festival. Mick adds that the lineup for this year's festival (27-30 Aug.) will be announced over the Easter weekend.

The Black Bottle String Band were playing last night at their favourite pub, the Blue Light in the foothills of Dublin 18, overlooking Dublin Bay.
