This summer’s Dundee Blues Bonanza is shaping up nicely with more than 30 venues anxious to take part in what has become Europe’s biggest free blues festival.
Organiser Bob Telford has announced the headline acts, which include the debut appearance of Mud Morganfield, Muddy Waters’ eldest son.
Also headlining this year are the legendary Li’l Jimmy Reed, making a welcome return to the blues bonanza and Papa Mojo, as well as the amazing Otis Grand.
It’s a superb list of headline acts for the event, which will kick off on Friday, July 23, at Duke’s Corner with an international promotional concert featuring the first three headliners.
The traditional farewell party is at Deja Vu, hosted by Otis Grand, but also featuring Morganfield and Li’l Jimmy Reed.
“We’re delighted so many venues have come on board again,” organiser Bob Telford said.
“Without the venues there is no blues bonanza.”
