Let´s jam together
This blog may have been quiet for quite a while, but not so my banjo. During the summer every now an then I hit the strings to practice the tunes I love (e.g. Whiskey Before Breakfast or Blackberry Blossom, click here).
And now as autumn draws near it really is time to give a call again to the next Kiel jam, aka Flying Circus of European Frailers ;-)
After Sheffield in 2008, Kiel in 2009, Newcastle in 2010 and Dublin in 2011 it´s Kiel again in 2012.
From Friday Oct. 26th til Sunday Oct. 28th we will hit guitar, uke, mandolin, dobro, saw (!) and of course banjo and the old vocal cords in Kiel-Friedrichsort. We made a reservation for the same place as in 2009, so everything will be as last time: Accomodation is payed per capita (the more attend, the cheaper it will be). We will prepare our own food (Katrina/Martina and me will buy enough for all – drinks too) and everybody is invited to share his skills in the kitchen and to share the costs per capita. There will be no service by the house – as there will be nobody but us. We´re on our own. Last time in 2009 everybody´s share was around 50 € (not sure about that but it must have been around this sum) for accommodation, food and drinks. Depending on the number of attendents there will be no big changes this year. Add the cost for travelling and you know what to pay for a wonderful weekend near the beach in Kiel with lots of music – and hopefully the same wonderful weather as in 2009 (well, ok, it´s October this time, but who knows...). To refresh your impressions you may click here and here.
This invitation goes to those hard core frailers who attended the other jams but also to newbies who want to join in singing, playing, maybe learning. We´re a bunch of non professionals, enthusiastic folkies, some really know how to frail, some just learning but everybody enjoying good company and acoustic music (no Heavy Metal during this weekend please ;-)
I remember in 2009 there were some people interested but thought they were not at a high enough level of playing skills so they skipped. Totally wrong: Beginners are very much welcome! As Patrick from Daily Frail put´s it: It´s all about sharing.
Please send me an email and do your “booking” or ask for more information.
There will be bunks for more or less 15 guys (and gals).
Happy to hear from you and see you in October!
