International Jazz Banjo Newsletter

All day at The Little Theatre (which is mainly used as a cinema) several pubs within staggering distance. Tables outside The Little where we can sit and chat, have a beer or three, and make a merry noise! Experience shows that we get a significant number of musicians coming by, who join in the jam session. A good way to make street music.
During the afternoon we shall be screening Bluegrass Country Soul. This is the first feature film ever made about bluegrass music. Shot on Labor Day Weekend in 1971 at Camp Springs, NC, it documents the first Bluegrass Festival. Live performance, commentary, interviews, history. With Ralph Stanley & his Clinch Mountain Boys, Earl Scruggs, JD Crowe and many more. 90 minutes of Banjo Bliss. First screening in the UK!
In the evening, a Grand Concert with Clarke Buehling, Kate Lissauer, Dan Walsh, Jürgen Kulus and the Bath Banjo Club. In the tradition of the Festival, there may well be others who turn up for the gig and add to the evening’s entertainment. It might be you . . . !
