#MusicMonday#Blues
First on the Acoustic Stage will be Raphael Callaghan with his early blues & gospel songs. On last year's Blues Trail he bowled us over, so his return is big time anticipated: https://t.co/DAM3zvPd74
On Saturday's acoustic stage, Kelvin Davies - a traditional country blues and ragtime performer with a twist of British folk - returns with Gary Jones, keeping the music of the great bluesmen from the 1920’s – 1940’s alive. A taster: https://t.co/2j6VjbQ31q
Following that there will be a solo set from the master of the one-man band Andy Twyman (who will also be performing on the Sunday as part of Dana Gillespie's fabulous band). More info on soon-to-be-released new website.
Another new event on the Saturday: Darryl Bullock, will be in conversation with BB Skone talking about his soon to be published book 'Queer Blues' - a fascinating account of the hidden figures of early Blues music.
"Often seen in the company of Peter Green, Johnny Winter, Nine Below Zero, Walter Trout", THE WORRIED MEN star in our new Saturday daytime concert at Tenby RFC Club: a venue to pre-book a seat within the Blues Trail! https://t.co/B1e0zPGflW
The Festival Friday's midnight session in the Giltar Hotel, sponsored by Blues tone (geddit?) Brewery, handed to the mighty Big Joe Bone: https://t.co/sOOf4FGCWm
Opening for our Sunday concert at the de Valence, Southern Fried Groove Queens will be giving us a taste of raw, exciting, groove laden Hill Country & Delta Blues: https://t.co/uOS7nv4aPf. Up & dancing now?
And another festival favourite, Bella Collins, graces this year with both the late night Saturday Giltar Hotel, Bluestone sponsored, all-in session and a 2.30pm slot on Sunday's Blues Trail at Top Joe's. How comforting is that?
A Thursday (9th Nov) special: 7.30pm in Tenby United RFC, guitar maestro James Oliver will be in conversation with broadcaster BB Skone followed by a solo set from the man himself (that's James not BB thankfully). A gentle preamble
Supporting the main de Valence act on Friday, Sam Kelly's Station House: their blues-based “groove” influenced by New Orleans second line, soul, jazz and British funk, is infectious (in a good way).
So now to the acoustic stage on the Saturday. Headlining is Martin Harley. He's been making music and touring the world for over two decades: https://t.co/Tl9LI8Apce
Half way up Sat night's de Valence bill: Kara Grainger, from Balmain (Australia), via Nashville (USA). An international Blues power comin' this way. https://t.co/NY335mazX1
We welcome the legendary US Bluesman, Guy Davis, to open the Saturday night programme on the de Valence Main Stage. Check him out: https://t.co/owJfDKgjKI
