From DanGem: Happy Banjo New Year!

Thanks to DanGem Bluegrass for New Year greetings from their completely refurbished website, and the news that their first Bluegrass Get-Together of 2015 will be held, as usual, on the last Saturday in the month (Sat. 31 Jan., in this instance); at the usual place and time (the Lagan Valley Island Civic Centre, Lisburn, Co. Antrim BT27 4RL, from 10.00 a.m. to noon); and with the usual schedule:

10.00-10.30 Warm-up
10.30-11.00(ish) Breakout time for beginners; rest of players, jam time
11.00(ish) to 12.00(ish) All back together

DanGem add: 'So let everyone know. Bring along your banjos, guitars, mandolins, fiddles, dobros, and bass, or just come along and enjoy us make music. Look forward to seeing as many of you who can attend.'

The DanGem Get-Together combines a jam session for those who are already active pickers, with the opportunity to learn for those who are beginners or just want to listen. DanGem's e-newsletter includes a location map for the Get-Together, and a reminder that they have the largest range of banjos for sale in this island - not to mention the other bluegrass instruments.
