Visit 1998 years festival on the Web.

The sixth annual Naasville Bluegrass Festival had a greater lineup then ever. This time we have spent a little more time on this Web-site. Thanks to our Web-sponsors we can have this site running. Hopefully we get even more visitors then 1995 years festival. Although we haven't adverticed much on the internet for last years festival, we have had visitors from many, many countries (Holland, UK, USA, Japan, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand and many more). Our main Web-sponsor is Axiell Bibliotekssystem, Scandinavias mostly spread computer software for libraries. Sponsor for our images is Lerums Sportfoto.

This years lineup

This years lineup was better than ever. We had two major acts from the US. Bluegrass Etc. which is maybe the most popular american festival-band over here and the fenomenal duo Dan Crary & Beppe Gambetta. We documented the festival by camera, so we have around 200 pictures from the two days. A small selection of pictures appear on these pages. We plan to sell pictures from the festival in order to found money for next years festival. So if you are interested in a picture of Bluegrass Etc. or Dan Crary or someone else, contact us. I may transfer more images from the festival to the Web if there is a demand for it.

Location

The festival was held at Naas on the swedish westcoast. Situated between Goteborg and Alingsas. The area belonged originally to a castle and is now organized by Lerums county. Next years festival will be held at the same place and time (2:nd weekend in July).
