Thanks to Richard Hurst, head of the organising team of the Bluegrass Music Festival at the Ulster American Folk Park, Omagh, Co. Tyrone (4-6 Sept.), for news of radio features on the Festival which will be on the air in the next seven days. Richard writes:

We hope to welcome and expose many thousands of people to artists such as Claire Lynch, Viper Central, Whiskey Deaf [John Kael and Annie Staninec] as well as the home-grown talent...

Listen out for interviews with Claire on RTÉ Radio 1 next Thursday morning (3 Sept.) and tune into Niall Toner this coming Saturday night (29 Aug.), when he will do a feature on the Festival acts.

The Claire Lynch Band will also be playing this coming Sunday at the Guinness International Bluegrass Festival, Dunmore East, Co. Waterford, in the festival's first ever ticketed concert. Claire's RTÉ Radio 1 interview next week will come the morning after the band's show at the DC Music Club, 20 Camden Row, Dublin 2.
