The Plough (AUS) in Ireland, 6-13 July 2015

The BIB apologises for not having sought out earlier this information on gigs in Ireland by The Plough, from Australia - we should have guessed they wouldn't be over here just for the honour of playing at the 25th Athy Bluegrass Festival (which begins this evening). Details of their performances at Athy are on the festival website.

As can be seen from the above image, they were playing last weekend at the big Torsåker Bluegrass Festival in Sweden - a growth centre of top-quality bluegrass in Europe. This week they played in Dublin, on Monday at Sin É and on Tuesday at Whelan's; last night they were at Raftery's Rest in Kilcolgan, Co. Galway. On Monday next (13 July) they are scheduled to play at the Blind Piper, Caherdaniel, Co. Kerry.
