Eagle Music hosts 'Banjo 2012', 3 Nov.

Among the many delights of the Johnny Keenan Banjo Festival, especially for banjo players, was the presence of Steve Noon of the Eagle Music Shop, Britain's 'leading and most passionate supplier of banjo, guitar, mandolin, and ukulele instruments', together with a large stock of fine instruments and masses of picks, strings, slings, CDs, instruction books, and similar material.

Eagle Music, as well as sponsoring the JKBF, is the official worldwide #1 master dealer for Deering banjos (USA), selling more than any other retailer in the entire world. During the festival, Steve issued news of a special event to be held in the Eagle premises in Huddersfield on Saturday 3 November - 'Banjo 2012' - with Greg and Janet Deering present. At the same time, the Kruger Brothers (Jens Kruger, Uwe Kruger, and Joel Landsberg, shown above) will be there to give on-stage workshops and an evening concert.
