New Brunswick Battle of the Blues Bands

Only just over a week to go before the southern heat in this competition to find a British blues band, duo or solo musician to go to the Fredricton Harvest Blues Festival, Canada, in September 2011. The heat, which will be held at the Concorde Club, Eastleigh, near Southampton, takes place on Monday 24th January, starting  at 7:30pm.

The six bands/artists appearing in the heat are: Hip Route, from Swindon; the Riverside Blues Band from the New Forest; Paint it Blue from Bournemouth; Mr H from south Wales;  the Richard Clarke Trio from London; and, Dan Sowerby  from Salisbury.  The winner of the heat will appear in  the final in London (at the famous 100 Oxford Street, venue) on 29th March along with a runner up selected by YOU from video to be placed on YouTube: It’s a public vote.  Keep an eye on the BITS web site (www.bluesinthesouth.com) and on this blog for more information on that process.
