The Blues are Back in Town

Just when we thought we’d lost our mojo it’s been handed it back to us by Rugfest. Our “brothers with the strange shaped balls” are handing-off to us this amazing opportunity to relaunch a one night only Wallingford Blues & Beer Festival to open their summer music festival on Wallingford Sports Park. This is going to be an awesome partnership.

Our last six nights were a sell out and we’re keen to build on that success, and you could be part of the future of this iconic event.

So, our 20-20 vision ? A full comeback next year with a two day stand alone festival.. "it's all incredibly simple"...

THE 'LINE OUT'

• Climax Blues Band - charting in the 70’s, a classic British blues rock talent.
• Papa George Band - blues journeyman on both sides of the Atlantic and a fantastic support to The Blockheads back in 2014.
• Hip Route - blues with a groove, from Wiltshire. These dudes should have opened in 2017 so it’s great they’re keen to come back.
