European 5-String Banjo Meeting |
|
|
Finally we have it! The long overdue first meeting for 5-string banjo players in Europe is on it's way. Many european 5-string banjo players know each other but a common meeting has been missing so far. Now we will have the first european meeting in Hagen and Dortmund / Germany. The location has been chosen because geographically it is more or less in the center of Europe. We are still working at the program and with the help of all of you will do a lot of fine-tuning until the meeting finally takes place. This site will be updated frequently, so have a look at it from time to time and keep yourself informed. We should like to thank all the supporters who helped us so far, especially those who offered all the workshops that you find below. ... and don't forget to tell your fellow pickers about the BANJOREE 2005 because -
