Woodbine Bluegrass Jamboree, 8-9 July 2016: new details, new web page

Thanks to Tony O'Brien for the latest information on this summer's First Woodbine Bluegrass Jamboree, which now has full location, lineup, and ticket details online - Tony has updated the Jamboree's Facebook and created a dedicated Jamboree page on Woodbine's website.

The First Woodbine Bluegrass Jamboree will be held on 8-9 July 2016 in the familiar setting of the GAA Centre, Dublin Rd, Athy, Co. Kildare. The lineup will be led by Woodbine as hosts and the excellent Hamilton County Ramblers band from Chattanooga, TN, supported by the Chanders Family of Athy and Evan & Amy Lyons from Clonmel.

Both evening concerts will begin at 8.30 p.m., with tickets at €10 (Friday) and €15 (Saturday), or €20 for the two nights; and a picking session is scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Full descriptions, with photos, of the acts taking part are here, as well as phone numbers for accommodation in the Athy area. A little more about the Hamilton County Ramblers appeared on the BIB for 3 February.
