International Suite 2006 a Success

The International Suite at the 2006 IBMA World of Bluegrass was successful; it was organised by the European Bluegrass Music Association (EBMA). Nine bands from three continents played on two nights - September 26 and 27 - to an appreciative audience. The events were made possible through the support of IBMA's International Outreach Program and the following sponsors: Northern Bluegrass Commitee, Bluegrass Ireland, EBMA, Desert Rose Musical Instruments, Sumi Mandolins, Norwegian Bluegrass Music Association and Strictly Country. Current plans include having the International Suite back at IBMA's World of Bluegrass 2007 (October 1-7, 2007).
