European Bluegrass Summit in Germany, 7-8 Feb. 2009

During the IBMA World of Bluegrass 2008 in Nashville a few weeks ago, one of the features was a two-day International Summit meeting, which brought together thirty people from all corners of the world to discuss issues facing bluegrass music worldwide, and agree on programmes of cooperative action.

The results so impressed some of the European attenders that a similar event has been arranged (with IBMA support), to be held on 7-8 February 2009 in the town of Bühl/Baden, southern Germany (which holds its 7th International Bluegrass Festival in May 2009).

The input of anyone concerned for the welfare of bluegrass in Europe is welcome. Full details, including application forms for those who wish to attend, can be found on the European Bluegrass Blog.
