Baltimore Fiddle Fair, 8-11 May 2014

Thanks to Declan McCarthy for details of this year's Fiddle Fair (8-11 May) in Baltimore, Co. Cork.

Among the top-class artists on the programme, those with special interest for BIB readers include Aly Bain, Cahalen Morrison & Eli West, Stephanie Coleman & Cleek Schrey, This Is How We Fly (with Nick Gareiss dancing), the New Rope String Band, and Brittany Haas, Paul Kowert, & Jordan Tice. (A unique feature this year will be the presence of John Sheahan, last surviving member of the Dubliners.) The Fair will also include many additional events - workshops, art exhibitions, and many great sessions in and around Baltimore.

Tickets are on sale now, but please note that season passes have been sold out for some time. For full details, including a view of this year's stunning new poster, visit the Fair's website.
