Great Performances at the Holland Banjo Festival 2008
The 6th Holland Banjo Festival has been held on November 9 at the Jazzplace Artishock in Soest, the central town of the Netherlands. About 125 banjo players turned up all filled with great enthusiasm. The day was packed with jams and featured performances of top German Banjo players Peter Bayerer ( accompanied by Peter Rederer on the Piano) as well as Achim Hippenstiel and friends. His Group consisted of German players Achim Hafkesbrink, Rolf Quack and on the Tuba, (Dutch!)Joop Hendricks.
The audience was very impressed with the super fast playing of Peter Bayerer whose first visit to the Festival was very impressive. The Banjo jams with all the Banjo player was more or less lead by Hans Joerg Elter from Germany, who performed as guest last year but returned this year as visitor. His enthusiasm had a great impact with the Dutch Banjo players.
The next Festival has been scheduled for November 15, 2009. More information at www.jazzbanjo.nl or with festival organisor Fetze Pijlman at fetzepijlman@jazzbanjo.nl
