Broadstairs BLUES BASH

Hundreds of blues fans will be heading towards Broadstairs for the tenth year of Broadstairs Blues Bash. With just a few weeks to go before the start of BBB 18, we got the chance to put a few questions to the festival director, Nigel Feist.

The Blues Bash has been around now for 10 years, why do you think it has become so successful?

“We have gone from having 10 bands over the weekend to over 60! I think the main reason is the wonderful town of Broadstairs. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The proximity of the pubs lend themselves to a music festival. I get great support from local traders who advertise in the programme. February is a tough month for traders in Broadstairs and it’s something everyone can look forward too.”

How far do people come?

“This year we have the Marbletones from Holland, Little Devils form France and Kent du Chaine from USA. I know that the audiences are made up from people all over the UK and some visiting from abroad too. We even have some people from Pegwell. “ Which gigs have tickets?

The Yarrow Hotel have Chris Corcoran Trio and they are doing a blues night which includes a meal, Otherwise we have the mighty Nine Below Zero supported by Catfish. The other 60 gigs are totally free!!

Is there an opportunity to play?

“Yes, Sunday afternoon midday til 4pm in the Pavilion is the WIRED! open jam where anyone can get up and play. We have some of the artistes playing who sit in, people who want to play next year and just people who fancy having a go. Last year we had 7 harmonica players up at once which my keyboard player later described as ‘unbelievable’” Where can people find out more about the Blues Bash?

“Our website is www.broadstairsbluesbash.com. There’s Facebook plus daily update on our Instagram. Also all the venues will have programmes in with a full description of the bands and timings.”

What would you say to people who aren’t sure if they like the blues?

“We had 63 bands at the last count and they all have a different take on the blues.

Everyone finds something they like. In recent years the blues has had a renaissance with many younger players joining the festival circuit. It’s not all about doom and gloom and I woke up this morning… Blues is about life and love and telling stories and that can be happy and sad. Blues has the power to move your soul and move your body. “ Come down to Broadstairs 16th - 18 February. There’s a party going on. ….#findyourblues
