Congratulations to Ireland’s Niall Toner, the very first recipient of the European Bluegrass Music Association’s “Personality of the Year” Award.
The Award will be presented to Niall at the 5th European Bluegrass Summit to be held in Prague (Czech Republic) March 15-17.
Niall will receive the award publicly at the concert on Saturday evening.
The 4th European Bluegrass Summit will be held on the weekend 2-4 March 2012, hosted by the city of Bühl in southwest Germany.
The Summit was first held at Bühl in 2009 as an initiative by the International Committee of the IBMA, and has been held since then under the auspices of the European Bluegrass Music Association (EBMA). This year's schedule includes the EBMA annual general members' meeting.
