23rd December 2016 at Royal Festival Hall (Clore Ballroom), London SE1.

Part of Winter Festival / Friday Tonic (free event).

Country: Ireland (British resident) & Britain & Germany (British resident). Style: Bluegrass (& some Traditional American - Old Time - Folk).

Lineup: Hubert Murray (v/g), Dan Edwards (v/banjo), Bruno Pichler (dobro), Kieran Towers (fiddle), Sam Rose (b/v).

I took photos of this band last year, see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157652066191706/. At that time they were a quartet (though Bruno Pichler missed the gig). Now they have added Kieran Towers to become a quintet. I have also taken photos of Towers and Edwards with the Ben Somers String Band supporting Brittany Haas & Lena Jonsson (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157651583835311/); Towers as a guest of Gordy Somers Walsh (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157653517860492/); and Edwards with the Long Hill Ramblers (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157650172088112/).
