'Heart & Home: a celebration of Old Times, Good Times & Bluegrass', Ballydehob, Co. Cork, 26-28 Jan.

Thanks to John Nyhan, who as promised in an earlier BIB post now sends details of the special event at Ballydehob, Co. Cork, 'Heart & Home: a celebration of Old Times, Good Times, & Bluegrass', taking place over the weekend 26-28 Jan., headlined by the Greg Blake Band (USA) with its astounding lineup, and also featuring two bands from the current crop of outstanding young pickers in these islands.

John says (and the BIB wholeheartedly agrees) 'With such a stellar lineup every bluegrass, old-time, country, and Americana fan should see the Greg Blake Bluegrass Band.' Its members have already individually made bluegrass history in their own right.
