The Clare Bluegrass Association
Annual Bluegrass Festival has a NEW HOME for our 2012 festival....
...LOCATION TO BE ANNOUNCED ONCE FINALIZED...
The Clare Bluegrass Association was founded
in 1997 in memory of one of the Clare's finest banjo players,
Vernon J. Robicheau.
The objects of the association are to promote the appreciation of Bluegrass music, develop local musicianship
in the field of bluegrass, establish contacts
between musicians of all levels, showcase local bluegrass
musicians and create social
gatherings for all association members and their guests.
Another Object of the association was to establish the "Vernon
J Robicheau Memorial Fund". The memorial fund helps young aspiring musicians
by offering music lessons for acoustic instruments. The 1st memorial concert
was held on October 12, 1997 and the first set of music lessons began in October, 1998. These lessons
are held in Meteghan and still going strong, twice a year.
Clare
Bluegrass Association will be starting their annual music lessons to young children in a few weeks...if you are interested
in registering your child we still have limited openings, the lessons will consist of guitar or mandolin. For more info
contact me before January 9th 2012
