Thanks to St John's Theatre & Arts Centre, Listowel, Co. Kerry, for making us aware of the current tour in Ireland by The Yonder Boys (USA/AUS/CHL), who were on the bill at last year's Westport Folk and Bluegrass Festival and clearly enjoyed themselves - they wrote on their Facebook a month ago:

We are heading back over to our true love, beautiful Ireland 🇮🇪 for 7 wonderful shows in January 2023 and we are just so happy about it and for ourselves, you cannot believe. Some new venues and some encore gigs in the mix! Get yourself to one and we will see you soon!
