Kevin Thorpe was a singer/ songwriter and blues musician who passed away unexpectedly during last year's Nottingham Blues Festival. Now the organisers of the 2011 British Blues Awards are initiating an award 'in memoriam': The Kevin Thorpe Award for the Best Original British Blues Song.
Six blues DJs around the country have each prepared a different shortlist of 4 songs for their listeners to consider as suitable to go forward to the final list. (see www.britishbluesawards.com click KT Award for more info on the DJs and shows)
Ian McKenzie of Wednesday's Even Worse, (Phonic FM (www.phonic.fm/listen-online/) Wed 6-8pm) is one of the six DJs and will be playing his 'shortlist' on his show on Wed 23rd March.
YOU will be able to vote for the song you consider should go forward to the final. Details of the voting process will be given during the show! Come on have a bit of fun!
