A WINTER Wonderful, a Christmas show hosted by We Banjo 3, the Galway bluegrass/folk sensation, takes place this Saturday, December 18, broadcasting at 1pm Irish time and 8pm in the USA.
We Banjo 3 - banjo players Martin Howley, Enda Scahill, and David Howley, and fiddler Fergal Scahill - are arguably the most successful band ever to emerge from Galway, since their 2016’s String Theory album reached the top of Billboard’s world music chart, and in 2018 they became the first Irish band to reach No 1 on the Billboard Bluegrass charts with the album Haven.
Hinting at the kind of respect they command, the show will feature Béla Fleck, the Grammy-winning banjo master, who Allmusic.com described as "one of the most innovative pickers in the world [who] has done much to demonstrate the versatility of his instrument". He will be joined by Abigail Washburn.
Also performing will be the much loved Galway trio The Whileaways; Galway’s newest trad band BackWest; Scottish Celtic-Rock group Skerryvore; and Celtic/mystic world music artist Ajeet.
