The Blues is coming back to Broadstairs as February heralds the return of the Broadstairs Blues Bash. It’s now in its 15th year and is a fantastic weekend to look forward to.
There are over 90 bands playing in pubs. Not just your regular local blues bands but top touring blues outfits who have been tempted down to Thanet to join in Kent’s biggest and best blues festival. There are 20 pubs taking part and the music is staggered throughout the day with plenty of opportunities to play and jam yourself. People say they book a lot of harmonica… and they’re right.
Here’s a few of the top players this festival – in no particular order
Mark Feltham from Nine Below Zero, Ben Bouman from the Marbletones, Liam Ward & Mark Cole, Alan Clarke, Richard Taylor from The Black Jacks, Nigel Feist from Mighty Fine Mr Feist, Joff Watkins from Jimmy Regal & The Royals, Terry Carter from Get Carter, Katie Bradley, Steve Griffiths from the Jackals, Tim Aves from Leavin’ trunk. And you of course.
Come along and play at a jam session.
See you there!! 17 18 19 February 2023
