British Bluegrass News – Spring 2009

British Bluegrass News - Spring 2009The Spring 2009 issue of British Bluegrass News (#48) will soon be mailed to subscribers.

The Thunderbridge Bluegrass Boys grace the cover, and the magazine also carries a feature on this popular group from the west country of England. There are also articles about Papa Truck (from the home counties), and upcoming tours by The Midnight Ramblers and Laurie Lewis.

A recent note from the publishers shared a few more details…

Other interesting items are Rick Townend’s tribute to Bill Clifton; a feature on May Is Worldwide Bluegrass Music Month; the choice of Favourites from the Carrivick Twins, Charlotte and Laura; and The Story Behind The Song, about Carter Stanley’s The White Dove.

All this plus the usual What’s On, Tour details and 2009 Festival Dates, CD reviews and Area reports will be in this bumper edition of British Bluegrass News.

BBN is published quarterly by the Britsh Bluegrass Music Association. Their web site is currently being redesigned, but membership details can be found by contacting Trish Hockley, Membership Secretary.
