The Great British R&B Festival 2024

MAIN VENUES EXCHANGE PROJECT STAGE

SATURDAY 24TH AUGUST

10:00pm – 11:00pm The Adam Sweet Band Adam Sweet delivers brooding blues and rootsy rock, balancing richly detailed song writing, soulful vocals and expertly piercing guitar work. Taking his cue from the British blues boom sounds and rock riffs of the 60s and 70s, the independent blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter has carved out his own territory between classic rock, blues and Americana. The Adam Sweet Band features: Garry Kroll on drums, Paddy Blight on bass and Thomas Hughes on Hammond organ.

SUNDAY 25TH AUGUST

2:00pm – 4:30pmThe Lonnie Donegan Story The exceptionally talented Warren James sings The Lonnie Donegan Story, which celebrates the founding father of British rock, blues and pop music – for without Lonnie Donegan and the Skiffle Craze then there would be no Beatles, no Rolling Stones, no Van Morrison, no Eric Clapton, no Folk Revival, no Blues Revival, no 60s Beat Boom, for everyone of those artists started musical life in a Skiffle Group – prior to skiffle kids did not make their own music and black American music was completely unheard of. This would promise to be the quirky and slightly different feature in your programme as ALL ROADS LEAD TO LONNIE!

Please remember to use the correct coloured bins for waste and recycling throughout the event.
