NEWS: Bumblefoot running a bandcamp at Inch, Ireland SOLD OUT

It is lovely to see Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal returning to these emerald shores, though this time his gig is a little bit more interactive as he is running his very first bandcamp from Wednesday 22 August to Monday 27 August.

And it sold out really quickly!!!

Whilst it is sold out for this one, this incredible positive response looks good for future events from this legendary guitarist. This is on the back of the incredible packed out gig of Sons of Apollo in the Limelight on 03 July this year (Review can be found here) I also had the absolute pleasure to interview this gentleman of rock (Listen to the interview here)

Below you can see what the itinerary is, and boy what a packed event it is too.

Welcome to the very first BUMBLEFOOT MUSIC CAMP, taking place on the northern coast of Ireland, 22 – 26 August 2018! Camp includes accommodations, meals, classes, jams, a local gig together (proceeds going to local charity), sight-seeing, giveaways… detailed info below, thank you!
