BAG bookings for new year

In these times of practical penury I have decided to give wallets and pockets a break and dispense with the month of January altogether in term of bookings, writes Roy Thompson of Ballymore Acoustic Gigs.

I'm still working on bookings for early and mid-February and beyond, but here are confirmed bookings for your brand new diaries:

Monday Feb 27 - Dana Cooper (USA) - Dana returns this Spring to spread his thought-provoking music - think acoustic Jackson Browne and you're in the ballpark for this great singer/songwriter, and yes, Dana is a dude, not a dudette! www.danacoopermusic.com

Monday March 5 - Matt Andersen (Canada) Bluesman Matt is a man-mountain with a voice to go with it, great original contemporary Blues. www.stubbyfingers.ca

Monday March 26 - Ger Wolfe (IRL). The 'Lark of Mayfield' will fill the air with melody and memories. Beautiful songs and a style that draws on traditional singing and subtle fingerstyle guitar work. If you've never seen Ger, where have you been?! Here's your chance to put it right! A gem. www.gerwolfe.com

Monday May 14 - Peter Mulvey (USA) - The Man from Milwaukee returns! Peter is without doubt one of the finest singer/songwriters to come out of the North East of America in many years, and a Ballymore favourite. Known for innovative guitar work and a rich voice, his songwriting is to the point, relevant and always interesting. www.petermulvey.com

I'll update the list when negotiations are concluded, but suffice it to say there's plenty more of that calibre coming your way! Some will be returns, and more will be new to Ballymore—exciting stuff to look forward to!
