New England Jazz Banjofest
Hi
everyone,
We
haven't been in touch for a while. It is hard to believe we are almost
into Fall and that means the
New England Jazz Banjofest isn't far away.
We
have several important items to tell you all about.
THE HOTEL
We
are really lucky this year. Those who have come of the festival know that
this is a terrific property at the current festival rate. But, the
hotel is running a special on rooms this fall. They have offered us a
reduced room rate of $87. With this new price, how could anyone not
want to come for the weekend?
If
you have already made your reservation (cutoff is date is October 17). the new
rate will automatically be applied so you do not have to call the hotel.
If you haven't made a reservation yet, please be sure to mention the New
England Jazz Banjofest when you make reservations. This is really
important because it is the credit for the rooms sold that defrays the
costs helps us keep this festival free.
If
you need a flyer to send to a friend or relative, you can get it here
VIDEOS
Through
the tireless efforts of Lynne Rock, we have posted some more videos from last
year's festival.
Check
them out.
THIS YEAR'S FESTIVAL
The
NEJBF has been growing every year. That itself is a feat in these days of
economic turmoil and the declining number of banjo players. Those of
us who love this music are
to
be credited for the festival's success. Get the word out. Invite your
friends and relatives to come by and see the shows.
We
have even more activities planned for this year. There is a great show
lined up for the Friday night festival opener, two lobby sets on Friday
afternoon and two more on Saturday morning, a workshop by Steve
Caddick (recent Banjo Hall of Fame inductee) on Saturday morning, and a
new format Sunday morning organized jam.
We
are looking forward to seeing everyone on November 1st.
Allen
and Alice
