Flats and Sharps: coming to Westport

Thanks to Uri Kohen, head of the organising team of the Westport Folk and Bluegrass Festival, for a foretaste of this year's event (12-14 June). Uri sends a link to a thirteen-minute video of the very hot young band Flats and Sharps (also on Facebook) from England, playing to a very enthusiastic house at the BBC Youth Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, London - a gig which they won as finalists in the Music for Youth event.

Flats and Sharps, who make excellent use of the single mike, will be one of the main acts at Westport in a special concert entitled 'Bluegrass: the next generation'. Uri will shortly be issuing a press release for the Festival with full details of its schedule.
