Location: Coleraine
Event Type: Concert
The Broken String Bluegrass Band plays traditional, raw acoustic Appalachian mountain music at its foot-tapping best and is a firm favourite at bluegrass festivals throughout Northern Ireland and beyond.
This dynamic band features Geordie McAdam and Michael Ash; both former members of the Black Mountain String Band, who have been favourites with live music audiences for many years. They play old time music with real passion and enthusiasm. Adding the bluegrass sound and drive to the band are the Muirhead brothers, Ivan and Adrian, and bass player Big Walty
For this special show, the band will include some material from the Irish and Scots traditions, and offer some background on the journey that some of the tunes have taken, crossing the Atlantic and finding new settings in the United States.
The concert is organized by Coleraine Borough Council as part of the St. Patrick’s Week Community Festival and is being presented in association with Cultural Crossings, which is promoted by the Provost of the Coleraine campus, University of Ulster, in partnership with Causeway Coast Arts.
