The Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival will return to Colne for the 27th year, but with a new feel…
The Festival draws in 1000s of music-lovers from all over the world, along with many more Pendle locals. This year the organisers want the locals to capture the global appeal of their town’s Blues Festival by getting involved. Whilst speculation was rife, many rallied their support for the Festival on social media and wanted to show thanks by making it easier than ever to become a part of it.
Whereas the feel may be different, there’s certainly no change in the quality, as they guarantee four days full of the best blues talent at the UK’s leading Blues Festival this August Bank Holiday weekend.
