A couple of days ago we mentioned some of the activities in which Cherryholmes have been involved during the summer so far. Here’s some information to delight English fans of Cherryholmes’ style of bluegrass.

This dynamic family bluegrass band is listed among the acts to appear at the 44th Cambridge Folk Festival, Cherry Hinton Hall Grounds, Cambridge, July 31 – August 3.

Formed in April 1999, Cherryholmes has developed into a very accomplished unit with a growing catalogue of very good original material at their disposal. Individually, members are in demand as studio musicians recording on other people’s albums.

The award-winning group already has five CDs, two of which have been released on the prestigious Skaggs Family Records label, and as has been mentioned already, have in the studio working on their next album. Also in the Skaggs Family Recording Studio at the time was a camera man, and video clips revealing some of the recording process are available at the Skaggs Family Records website.

Also available is a clip from Cherryholmes’ appearance at the Glasgow (Scotland) Old Fruitmarket where they recorded Tell Me Why, among other songs, for their contribution to BBC Scotland’s ‘Celtic Connections 2008′ TV series.

Other dates while in England include …

• July 28 – Maidstone, Kent: Zebra Bar
• July 29 – Pontypridd: Muni Arts Centre
• July 30 – London: The Luminaire
