EBMA Meetings
Without the EBMA, bluegrass music in Europe would not be where it is now, and it would never get to where we want it to go! Anybody involved and interested is welcome at the Open Meeting on Friday morning. For our members we have a special meeting on Thursday. Both meetings will be led by Paolo Dettwiler, chair of the EBMA.
You will find the times above, the rooms will be posted during the festival.

Jam Sessions
No bluegrass festival is complete without them. We trust you to bring your instrument and to find others to play with. Designated areas do not seem to work, so you may pick ‘n’ sing anywhere you please, as long as it does not interfere with other festival activities. EWOB officials may have to keep an eye on that...

Jamming - also on the sports field! - is not allowed after 2:00 a.m.

‘t Trefpunt 90% Smokefree
Smoking will be prohibited in all rooms but one, and of course you may go outside if you want to smoke.
After 8 p.m. the workshop room will also be open for jammers who do not mind smoking, by themselves or others. This room will be aired thoroughly before the next day’s workshops.
