| New Blues ’n’ Roots Festival Church Stretton Shropshire The sleepy town of Church Stretton in Shropshire is getting a new addition to the festival calendar. The first ever Blues 'n' Roots Festival will be held in the town on Saturday 31st May 2014. The festival, which will be supporting MacMillan Cancer Support, aims to showcase some of the best singer-song writers on the blues and roots scene. The line-up features both national and international artists, as well as some fantastic homegrown Shropshire talent. Headlining the festival is 'Blues Boy' Dan Owen, winner of the British Blues Awards Best Young Artist 2013. Dan is a Shropshire lad, who is making huge waves in the music world. Gary Hall, influential Americana musician and former front man with The Stormkeepers, will be joining Dan Owen on the bill. Polly Money is another artist on the rise. Polly has spent the last year touring and playing festivals all over the UK, Europe and the USA. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
