The Flat Mountain Girls are playing in Ireland over the next 7 days, and next Thursday they’ll be in Masons Bar here in Derry.

These four girls from Portland, Oregon are a high-energy string band who play traditional old-time music from the Appalachian mountains area. If you enjoyed the Carolina Chocolate Drops last year then you’re sure as hell going to love these guys!

Support will be provided by Ireland’s favourite blues/punk/rockabilly/country rockers Here Comes the Landed Gentry (damn, these boys are busy lately) and singer/songwriter Tina McLaughlin.

Here’s all the Irish dates:

May 22 2009 – The Cobblestone inDublin

May 23 2009 – Baltimore, Co Cork

May 24 2009 – McCarthy’s Bar in Dingle, Co Kerry

May 27 2009 – The Crane Bar in Galway

May 28 2009 – Masons Bar in Derry

Update: looks like the Derry gig has been cancelled, not sure why.
