Darin & Brooke Aldridge, #BluegrassOmagh 2018.

#BluegrassOmagh | The Omagh Bluegrass Music Festival. It’s probably the largest bluegrass festival on the island of Ireland and it has been running now for over a quarter of a century. The lineup for this year’s festival, its 27th iteration, was just as impressive as the festival’s setting of the Ulster American Folk Park, the headline act of husband & wife combo Darin & Brooke Aldridge flown in just for the occasion. It was good to see and hear them again.
