The month of May has been designated International Bluegrass month and the RTÉ Radio 1 Music Collection is marking it with a host of music programmes celebrating Bluegrass and its musicians.
Monday’s In Concert series features two-part shows The Paperboys and Alison Krauss during the month. The Paperboys are a Canadian group whose influences range from Bluegrass to Mexicana and our own Irish traditional music. Alison Krauss in concert was recorded in The National Stadium in 1996 and has never been broadcast before. Alison and her band Union Station show us why she is the queen of Bluegrass music.
