From Nov 09 to March 2010, out of 19 council houses, allocated by Tralee council 11 went to immigrants. Many Irish people are on the housing waiting list, some waiting for 7yrs, and the houses are going to foreigners.

This at a time when Irish children in care are being moved around in different care homes and B&B's. Some of these kids have been abused and committed suicide - they would greatly benefit from a secure council house.
@EXPL721 I was barely 16 when I saw these guys in the late 80's. You're right, people would get up and leave because they weren't playing PROPER bluegrass. But now the generation that loved these guys are crowding out the traditionalists at the bluegrass festivals.
@OysterLava Unfortunately people get pedantic in just about every area of music. There are clawhammer people who get pissy if you dare throw in an upstroke (the horror!). Life's just too damn short, and music's for enjoying.
This kind of excellance will never be assembled again. Each member a master in their own right. Words can't express the degree of perfection that NGR were together.
I listened to this shit when I was five and It broadened my ideas of music not needing words to be right besides tony R and bill M this was onlt good thing my dad listened to fucking riding in the truck he and I didn't know what fusion was then its made me progess as a musician 10 fold thx sam & bela
It was this NGR ACL performance that got me as a 16 year old teen playing banjo. And it's still the music that this 40 year old aspires to. I lost my VHS tape years ago. Thanks so much for posting.
Thank you bluegrasslibrary. Your collection is a godsend. I used to catch NGR in Bostic,NC since '84. Have purchased almost everything in your library on record or tape but the live stuff is the best for me. The videos sure bring back memories, Thanks

at its center, its very scottish, thats what I like about these guys, they keep the core of traditional string music, but they push the envelope.

Absolutely incredible musicians! This is the very best bluegrass band ever assembled!
It's a real shame the "old grassers" or "true grassers" never gave these guys the chance they deserved.

These guys are excellent muscians!
It's a shame mainstream bluegrass fans shun great music like this. They don't know what they are missing.
Excellent job!

@OysterLava Your right Oyster, I have seen this happen too. back in the eighties at little theaters everywhere.
I guess they didn't pay attention to the name of the band. (NEWGRASS Revival.)
