Des Butler reports on Mohill Bluegrass Festival

Thanks to Des Butler for this report and the accompanying photographs:

Just returned from Mohill Bluegrass Festival where JigJam [above] gave an outstanding performance on the Saturday night and 'brought the house down' with (very obvious) great audience appreciation.

Likewise the irrepressible and indefatigable Down & Out Bluegrass Band [below] gave several great performances over the weekend, as only they can, albeit without their mandolin player John Denby who is presently performing in France.*

I was not able to attend the finale on the Sunday night so cannot comment on The Cat's Meow who were performing then, but having been at their performance on previous years I have no doubt they went down a treat.

*See the BIB for 22 July. The Cat's Meow certainly seem happy with the Sunday night, judging from their Facebook. NB: they also saw previously Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys at the Red Room, Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, which they intend to visit again...
