Buddy Merriam tour update (new version)

Please note that a number of dates have been added to the tour by Buddy Merriam & Backroads (USA) which begins on 12 January and comprises eighteen shows in this island, as well as some in Britain. The new dates include shows in Culdaff, Co. Donegal, Dublin, Kilkenny city, Limerick, Galway, and Ballybay, Co. Monaghan. In addition, there is a confirmed venue for the Belmullet show, and the final show of the tour will be in Belfast instead of Naul. This fine band will almost certainly be playing within easy reach of you. For further information, see Nigel Martyn's website, to which there is a link on the Bluegrass Ireland Blog.

If you receive the Bluegrass Ireland newsletter, please note that the Dec. 2005/Jan. 2006 issue was up to date at the time of going to press, but needs revision as far as the last two dates are concerned.
