Bands wanted for Fourth of July weekend at Durty Nelly's

The BIB editor reports:

Wendy Connolly's 'Bluegrass in Ireland' Facebook carries an appeal from Paul Clover, manager of the celebrated Durty Nelly's bar (above) at Bunratty, Co. Clare. He is looking for 'American-style bands' to play over the American Independence Day weekend (Sat. 2-Mon. 4 July), and adds:

C'mon, folks! Don't let 4th July go by without some real bluegrass and Americana at this fine establishment! It'd be as unthinkable as going the day without fried chicken and corn-on-the-cob! Oil up those fingers and get pickin'!

In our experience, Durty Nelly's is a very welcoming place, which has hosted some fine music during successive events at Bunratty. Bands wishing to play there should 'phone Paul at 061 364861.
