A new Banjo Festival in North Netherlands is announced!
ATTENTION, Lovers of Traditional Jazz !
27 maart 2011, Hoogeveen, NL
Northern Netherlands Jazz Banjo †Convention.
What is this? Thirty or more banjoists playing the same ( ! ) number at the same time ( ! ), together? You should have experienced that, if only once. This sort of meeting is taking place every year, in May or June in Breda during the Jazzfestival in that city, and in November in Soest (NL), but also in other countries. However, players and lovers of this style of music in the northern provinces of the Netherlands have to undertake long journeys to participate.
But this will change now. With support of the organisers of the mentioned events a couple of participants took the initiative to set up the first Northern Netherlands JazzBanjo Convention. This will take place on Sunday 27th of March 2011 from 12:00 to 18:00 hrs, in the "MAXX Sports and Events" facility, Terpweg 1, 7902 NW Hoogeveen.
This convention is not exclusively for banjoists. It will also be an Open Stage day for those who like to play Traditional Jazz. The main thread through the day will be: to meet, look and listen, learn from each other and play together. Next to that we will try to attract a top-banjoist to perform and/or give a workshop.
The "Grande Finale" will be a jamsession for all who want to join in.
The program is in preparation and will be posted shortly on www.jazzbanjo.nl
