Let's hope we can score a hat trick and put Caithness firmly on the country music map and calendar. This year again the Caithness Indoor Riding Arena is the chosen venue for our event in the main this was given the thumbs up as a successful festival site last year. Hopefully this year we have upgraded and improved on the standard making it even more popular. As you can see this years festival has a truly international flavor with artistes from Canada, America, Switzerland, Holland, and Ireland, sharing the stage with our home grown talent. As usual the committee has worked extremely hard in particular over the last few months when time for ourselves seem to have become something of a luxury. Not forgetting our merry band of dedicated behind-the-scene helpers who work so hard at putting this event together -- we could not do without you - - so sincere thanks to you all. I would also like to say a special thanks to country music writer and presenter Stewart Fenwick who is a great help in promoting the festival. Stewart does some fantastic previews and reviews in the country music magazines. Thanks Stewart it's much appreciated. Have a good one!!! A request for yourselves to help us improve our event and give you the festival goers and most important people what you want in the future. Please take the time to complete and return our feedback questionnaire and we will take your comments and suggestions on board for next year. We aim to please. Have a great weekend.

However from the minute they stepped on the stage and played their first song I knew they were going to go down a storm and I was right. The boys themselves had a great night and couldn't believe the hospitality and reception they received, they were most impressed by our club and thought Scotland was a beautiful country. I initially thought we might have problems with the language barrier but once they had sampled some of our local malts this improved which must mean that when the whisky's in we all talk the same language. The band said there are no country music clubs in Switzerland however they do play live gigs and are warmly received all over Europe including France, Austria and Germany. The five piece band play anything from ballads to rockabilly to western swing. They take you back in time to the smoky dance halls and honky tonks of Texas where you can kick up your heels, clap your hands, two step or waltz, but you are guaranteed to have a great time. The boys write and perform their music in the same traditional but yet unique and original style that is their own. Their lead singer Juan, with his deep clear strong voice, sings along to the accompaniment of four background vocals and instruments such as steel guitar,fiddle, mandolin, dobro guitar,bass and drums. With over fifty live concerts performed annually and nominations for 'Band of the Year' and 'Newcomer of the Year' in both Switzerland and Austria, the Honky Tonk Pickers are on their way to becoming one of the most successful country bands in Europe. Their exceptional musical talent combined with their energetic, enthusiastic interaction with their audience is an experience never to be forgotten.

The band was founded in 1997 and has become a well oiled machine that has proven to be a formula for success. The musicians deliver exactly what is needed to fascinate the audience and create the right atmosphere for the event. In 2000 Texas Renegade were voted the most promising country band in Holland after winning a series of talent shows. They have toured Belgium, Spain, Germany and Switzerland as well as their very successful tour of Austin, Texas, and have made appearances at festivals throughout the Netherlands. The boys played at a Northern Nashville club night last August and put on a brilliant show in their own unique way - feedback from our members was favorable. They were a very visual band who played with enthusiasm and feeling which they believe are the two ingredients for real country music. The band members are very big Dale Watson fans and he guests on their new CD. They were interested to hear the reports and view the photos of Dale when he played at our first festival. Texas Renegade's play list includes songs by country music greats. Mix in their own brand of original roots country and you have an incredible show - in fact to quote the boys they are authentic, serious kick-ass country performers.

Despite the durability of this appeal in the face of huge changes in Ireland and in the Irish music industry over a half-century, it remains curiously underexamined in the literature on Irish popular music. In this paper, I wish to argue the following: (1) Country music did not simply arise ‘naturally’ in Ireland as a reflection of musical or national char- acteristics: it was promoted as such. (2) Both popular and academic literature on the subject have tended to unreflectively echo the narrative that was introduced alongside the music in order to fix its audience. (3) In so doing, the literature reproduces a set of anxieties about modernity as it arrived in Ireland, about the postcolonial condition and about authenticity, even as it attempts to locate Irish popular music within these concerns. Introduction In the late 1960s, the pages of New Spotlight magazine, then Ireland’s only national popular music journal, were filled with comment, features and readers’ letters dis- cussing the so-called ‘country boom’.

With its aggressive beat and anti-establishment connotations, rockabilly is considered a widely male-dominated genre, a point supported by the majority of scholarship and literature on the subject. However, a review of available contemporary recordings, television shows, advertisements and interviews show that women were an integral part of the history of rockabilly music.

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the help and support of so many wonderful people. I’ll never forget the day when David Levee suggested I check out a Nekromantix show in Austin, TX. During the show, as I watched Kim Nekroman lick the Jägermeister off his coffin bass while thudding away at the mutant rockabilly- punk hybrid creation with ridiculous speed, I knew then and there that psychobilly would have to be the subject of my doctoral research. I did not know at the time that I would come to meet some of the most remarkable people in my life as a result of engaging in this research. I am very grateful to the hundreds of musicians, fans, and retro-philes that shared their interests, opinions, stories, and time with me. There are too many to list here, so please know that each and every one made a significant impact on me and contributed to this product.
