The Eighth Annual Henry Reed Memorial Fiddlers Convention was held in Glen Lyn, VA on June 11-12, 2010. This festival honors the life and music of local old-time fiddler Henry Reed.
WNRV was on-site for the entire event and over the course of the weekend brought you 11 hours of live music broadcast from the festival. We had a great time (even with all the rain on Saturday) and appreciated all the people who stopped by to say hello.
Friday’s activities began at 5 PM and featured these bands: The Reed Family Band, Frank George and Friends, The Thumbdingers (2009 Old-time band winner), and Canyon River Bluegrass (2009 Bluegrass band winner). We broadcast 5 hours live on Friday so you did not miss a minute of these featured bands.
On Saturday we broadcast 6 hours of the Individual instrument and band competitions, including the awards presentation ($2000 in cash and ribbons as prizes). The competitions included: Bluegrass and Old-time Fiddle, Bluegrass and Old-time Guitar, Bluegrass and Old-time Mandolin, Bluegrass Banjo, Clawhammer Banjo, Old-time Fingerstyle Banjo, Harmonica, Dobro, Folk Song, Banjo-Fiddle Duet, Bass, Autoharp, Dance, Youth, Bluegrass and Old-time Bands. The winners are listed below.
Alan Jabbour also conducted a 2-day fiddle workshop from 10-12 on Friday and Saturday morning.
More information is available on the festival flyer.
