Hero. Legend. Good Bloke.
John Peel OBE, 1939 - 2004

Red Lick Records



 

 



Here is the UK and European Blues Festivals Guide for 2010. This is the first year I've included European Blues Festivals (more coming soon), with thanks from our friends across the Channel.

Whilst I have taken every care to ensure details are correct, please confirm dates with festival organisers - I have included contact phone numbers, email addresses and website addresses.  Please let me know of any other UK or European blues festivals not listed here. I regularly update this list as I receive more details from festival organisers, so check back often.

Thanks,     Alan White.     

Email: alan.white@earlyblues.com

It's quicker to click on the month you want rather than scrolling down - it's a big list!
