Finally! The long overdue second meeting for 5-string banjo players in Europe is on it's way.

It will take place from
June 8th through June 10th, 2007 at the ESW in Hagen / Germany

Many European 5-string banjo players know each other but they hardly ever meet. The BANJOREE 2005 was the answer. That great success was the inspiration for BANJOREE 2007.

We are happy to have Ulf Jagfors, Gerard de Smaele and Jürgen Biller again with new programs. In particular we are looking forward to meeting ERIC STEFANELLI and his wife PATRICIA GERENTE from Nice/France with their workshop on the underrated classic banjo style. New techniques à la Tony Trischka and Bela Fleck will be taught by Andreas David from Berlin. Udo Weihrauch from Hannover will present amazing clawhammer techniques for all kinds of music. If you have questions about instrument setup, you can again go to Karsten Schnoor and Wim van de Weg.

As a novelty feature we have two guitar workshops which will be of interest to both banjo and guitar players. Matthias Malcher from Osnabrück, who is as proficient on bluegrass guitar as on Scruggs-style banjo will offer a workshop for fingerpicking bluegrass guitar. For those interested in more modern forms, Oliver Waitze from Solingen will offer a Dawg- and Swing-Guitar workshop.

This site will be updated frequently, so have a look at it from time to time and keep yourself informed.

... and don't forget to tell your fellow pickers about BANJOREE 2007 because - as everybody knows:
More Banjos => More Fun!
