Bluegrass at Raftery's Rest, 19 July 2015

Thanks yet again to Wendy Connolly and 'Bluegrass in Ireland' for the news that the house band will be playing at Rafterys Rest, Kilcolgan, Co. Galway (photo), on Sunday 19 July, kicking off at 11.30 a.m. Kilcolgan is about 20 km south-east of Galway city, on the main N18 road to Limerick - and not far from Tom Cussen's Clareen Banjos in Clarinbridge. A location map is on the Rafterys Rest contact page.

The following weekend (24-6 July) the celebrated German resonator guitarist Martin Gross and his band will be heading the lineup for the Kilcolgan Bluegrass Weekend (see the BIB for 13 May). Martin will also be giving tuition on the 25th. Booking for his day-long tuition is being taken at present. For schedule of tuition and costs, please contact Peter Larkin on 087 995 3555 or by e-mail.
