North Carolina comes to Rathmines

Thanks to Patrick Simpson of the Bluestack Mountain Boys / Dublin Bluegrass Collective, hosts of the weekly Dublin Bluegrass Jam Session at Mother Reilly's, 28-32 Upper Rathmines Road, Dublin, for this news of the New Year's Day jam - among those taking part were banjo maestro Hank Smith (below right) of Hank, Pattie & the Current and Billie Feather, the Current's guitarist. Patrick writes:

We had two lovely visitors from N. Carolina, USA, join us for a pickathon at last Sunday's Bluegrass Jam in Ma Reilly's. Hank & Billie were a great addition to the great energy of the night. Sent to us via Paddy Kiernan (Nava). Thanks for sending them our way. I hope they enjoy themselves in Ireland and will join us again soon. Great to see some of the Old School Heads, was a great night. Happy New Year and we hope to see you all some Sunday 7.00-11.00 p.m. Also special thanks to our new sponsor, ALDI.
