Christmas greetings: update

Woodbine display the festive image shown on their Facebook page, with the message:

We would like to wish all our friends a very happy Christmas and bright new year. Thanks for all your support in 2014 and look forward to meeting you somewhere on the bluegrass trail in 2015.

The BIB editor adds:

While I cordially agree with these sentiments, I have to point out that this is a seriously misleading picture. I have never played a banjo with tuners that protrude at the side of the peghead.

Thanks also to Paul and Anne McEvoy of the Red Hat Acoustic Music Club, meeting every month at the Harbour Hotel, Naas, Co. Kildare, for this message:

Just a little note to thank you for your support during the past year on the Bluegrass Ireland Blog. Happy Christmas to the bluegrass family in Ireland. Hope 2015 will be a good year.

It seems to be shaping up well, in terms of musicians from abroad - the BIB calendar has seldom looked so full before a year has even begun.
