Dunmore East 2015: a preview of the lineup for the 21st Birthday

Demolition String Band: Boo Reiners, Elena Skye

Thanks to Mick Daly, head of the organising team of 'Ireland's FREE Bluegrass Festival' - the annual Guinness International Bluegrass Festival at Dunmore East, Co. Waterford - for news of the lineup for this year's event (27-30 Aug. 2015), the 21st since the festival began in 1995.

On the schedule so far are the Demolition String Band (USA), who played ten dates in Ireland last October; the Vabank Unit, who were the first Czech band (the BIB believes) to play at an Irish bluegrass festival; and homegrown acts Jigjam, the Mons Wheeler Band, the Down and Out Bluegrass Band, and Barefoot Jenny. Five more acts are still to be confirmed.
