British Blues – Events – Festivals

Here is the full ‘EarlyBlues’ archive of reviews and photos of blues festivals on the British blues scene. Just click on the blue links for each review and/or photo gallery. Within each photo gallery there are several links to exclusive interviews with performing artists.

Reviews are from Rosy Greer, British Blues Archive (Lancashire Regional Representative – Lancashire Blues Archive) and UKBlues Federation, Keith Blackledge, independent reviewer, Keith Woods and Lee Wilkinson, ‘Tales From The Woods’ magazine and roots music networking group, Alan White, Earlyblues.com and UKBlues Federation, Tony Higgins, blues fan, Courtland Bresner, acoustic guitarist, Lionel Ross, blues fan, Duncan Beattie, blues fan and Steve Wosket, ‘blues brother’ and budding musician.

Photos are from Alan White, Sarah White, Courtland Bresner, Steve Smith, Ray Smith, Liz Aiken, Tony Higgins, Steve Wosket, Ian Zirins, Carl DeAbru and Paul Webster.

Photographic galleries associated with these festivals (i.e. the original ‘EarlyBlues.com’ website list) can still be found here.

Please note this archive is currently being further expanded with lists of artists photographed at each festival, not necessarily all artists who performed there, as when there were multiple stages/venues it was not always possible.
