Geneva BeNeLux on hand to support Dutch Open

Geveneva BeNeLux offers the chance to pick up some great deals and for a winning band to pick up a great workshop experience at the Dutch Open.

Geneva Benelux
 

Geneva BeNeLux will be making the trip to Drachten (Laweie) next weekend to support the Dutch Open Championship.

The competition takes place on Saturday June 13th with 10 bands competing in three sections — all trying to impress adjudicators Philip Harper and Arfon Owen.

Trade stand

Geneva BeNeLux will have a trade-stand on show throughout the event with a number of special offers. It is the latest show of support of domestic banding by Geneva BeNeLux after the recent appearance of Geneva artist Glenn Van Looy at a brass band festival in Hilvarenbeek.

Special workshop

On this occasion the winning band in the Second Section will have the opportunity to work alongside Geneva artist Ben Godfrey in a special workshop and concert.
