    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to get a gauge if anyone would be interested in watching Bela Fleck perform at the Sydney Opera House in 2010.

    Would you please call me at 02 92597827?

    Kind regards.

    Hi Julianne. If you haven’t turned up anything yet, I could help. I come across lots of banjos and am happy to fit a banjo to a players need and budget, and ensure they get value for money and as good an instrument as possible. I can also help get it set up properly which is an integral part of buying a banjo. Regards, Peter Nahuysen. Bellbird Banjo Co peternahuysen@optusnet.com.au @Julie-ann

    Very well prepared site, new information appears daily, leaves most other Bluegrass sites in the dust. Greg, you’ve really produced something that the whole Bluegrass community greatly appreciates. Thank you.
