Welcome to the Local, a place to gather and hear some new tunes from fab friends. We have been here for a while, a dozen years or so. It may be your first time, or you may be a regular. Hi in any case. Yes the music you will hear tonight is all locals; folks who have been through here, who draw from here, who live here and make music we love here. So hear now here and raise a glass of Black Grass brew to these tunes. You will hear in them that they too have all sipped from the same glass of grass. You will hear it too in part because in some cases the producers are also regulars. Slainte.
