I notice that the line up for this does not include a single blues act by any reasonable interpretation of what is blues..........

I see what you mean, I`d have thought they could have at least one electric band ( most Heavy Metal is just blues with the volume up to 10...11 for Spinal Tap fans).
PT
Though Van the Man has a history of playing blues
PS; Did you know, Van Morrison was born in a gym
And Jim Morrison was born in a van?
(How I wish that were true)

On a similar note, the rory gallagher festival at ballyshannon has quite a lot of bands who will play no rory gallagher stuff. Including mungo jerry.
My services were not required.....

I take your point about the gap between event name and line up entirely, but (being somewhat literal-minded and a trained pedant), I can't quite help asking: are you not counting Mud Morganfield because a) he is not playing the evening / main venue event or b) you hold that any interpretation of what is blues that includes him is unreasonable (or c) you didn't notice him)? |

Didn`t find any Mud M on the `Bluesfest` website , Shame if there is only a `token` blues band added to a list of `pop` bands. PT PS:the Ballyshannon `Roryfest` (apart from Mungo Jerry, who for all I know after 40years might now be a blues band) looks like a lot of high octane blues/rock, so nothing to moan about there Just looked at www.bluesfest.uk , no Mud on the poster or listings as yet, maybe he will be the new singer with Level 42, when the open the show on the Sunday?? |

Job here for advertising standards people I think. I really don't understand the thinking behind this, or even if there is any. The headline acts are all fine performers but not, even by the most liberal definition, Blues. gsgarrymsmith.wix.com/theslideguy |
