I've thrown a few 'sickies' in my time to go to these but not any more, I shall be going as an upstanding, retired senior citizen.

Saw Crow Black Chicken supporting ZZ Top and they are a good show. Very similar sounding for a support act.
Enjoyed them that much I asked one of the band what was their best and latest album and I bought them. Electric Soup and Pariah Brothers, and I don’t waste me money.

I thought the same initially, but if you read it carefully it says "CLEARWATER CREEDENCE REVIVAL"Juan Tanamera wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 6:59 pmAnd Creedence Clearwater Revival to boot.

No doubt they will be very good though. (tribute band ?)

Bookings like Lindisfarne and Dr Feelgood are highly impressive. Really glad it’s back.

Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
I listen to almost anything and I’m known as the most diverse of music fan’s throughout my friends and family but I’ve yet to enjoy the music at a blues festival in Colne and I’ve really tried! Having said that, I’ll likely go because it’s a good do and I enjoy a beer

Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
Saw them a couple of months back at Exhibition Park Newcastle on home turf. Only one original member still in the group, Rod Clements however they are still a fantastic turn and very tight. It’s easy to forget how many banging tunes they churned out and how poignant were many of the lyrics written by Alan Hull.
Great singalong as well. Don’t miss it.
Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
So glad it is back, puts the town on the map and more importantly a real boost to the local pubs and clubs.

I'm absolutely amazed that all of your friends and family have got their heads together and nominated you as the person with the most eclectic taste in music.Burnley1989 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 7:34 pmI listen to almost anything and I’m known as the most diverse of music fan’s throughout my friends and family but I’ve yet to enjoy the music at a blues festival in Colne and I’ve really tried!

Especially given the fact that you don't like any of the music at at the blues festival.
Did your mum and dad meet at donk night at mode?

It's seriously difficult to understand why you can't enjoy a good honest 12 bar, to be honest.

Believe it or not it was over fifty years when I first saw them live, went with a uni mate who just happened to be a Geordie.ClaretLoup wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 7:48 pmSaw them a couple of months back at Exhibition Park Newcastle on home turf.

Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
I always say I want to go and watch some bands, but normally spend the weekend drinking outside, especially if the weather's good. Be good to have it back after the last few years.Burnley1989 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 7:34 pmI listen to almost anything and I’m known as the most diverse of music fan’s throughout my friends and family but I’ve yet to enjoy the music at a blues festival in Colne and I’ve really tried!

Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
I can say with 100% certainty that John Fogerty will not be performing in Colne this year. Neither will Doug Clifford and nor will Stu Cook. Tom Fogerty passed away in 1990 so it’s safe to say he won’t be there as wellJuan Tanamera wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 6:59 pmAnd Creedence Clearwater Revival to boot.

Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
The Allman Brothers Band, my favourite band of the 70’s, very tempted to see this tribute band.
Thanks for posting.

Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
It's pretty clear from the line up that this isn't the original band.
Unfortunately, I didn’t take the time to read the bands name, but hey, who really gives a flying **** about such trivialities?

Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
I'm sure I saw Lindisfarne with Santana and Dylan back in 82 at St James Park but the mind is going so can't exactly remember.
Proud of East Lancashire for keeping the Blues alive seen so many great bands at the Mechanics. All due respect to the organisers and funders...!
Like, someone above will definitely check out the Allman Brothers always love their slide guitar on blues classic like Robert Johnson's "Come on in my kitchen"..

At one time, tickets for them were like gold dust.

Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
Alan Hull was the soul of that band without doubt. City Song is my favourite closely followed by Peter Brophy Don’t Care and Clear White Light. Honourable mention for Passing Ghosts as well

Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
I think Foggarty is on in Las Vegas this year so I’m fairly certain the one in Colne will be a tribute band. However, if they play a full Creedence set half decent it should be a cracker.
Re: Colne's Great British Rhythm And Blues Festival
Saw nine below zero at Uni. 1981? Superb.
