The Great British R&B Festival 2024

MAIN VENUES EXCHANGE PROJECT STAGE

5:30pm – 6:30pm Southern Fried Groove Queens Fresh from the fryer of the UK’s Deep South. Southern Fried Groove Queens are a big bold and bluesy Mississippi Hill Country/Delta-inspired duo,

featuring Lee Hall on Guitar/Vocals & renowned Blues drummer Lucy Piper. Cooked to perfection using a traditional recipe passed down through the generations, spicy & delicate juicy flavours, all-natural, organic and fresh ingredients.

The duo pay their dues to old blues masters: RL Burnside, John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson and many more. They have already played many of the UK’s leading Blues festivals, grabbing admirers. With Lee’s unique haunting vocals, energetic slide playing, and Lucy’s infectious hypnotic drumming, it’s the blues baby! They definitely bring the boogie! 7:00pm – 8:00pm DC Blues Recently making the Top 20 nominees for Best Emerging Band at the 2024 UK Blues Federation awards, DC Blues have received several reviews in Blues Matters Magazine who stated “Hard bluesin’ at its best! A cohesive band of top-class musicians, what is not to like?”, “Highly recommended, go and see this band when you can”, and many more. DC Blues have released two albums, both of which made the Top 40 in the IBBA Chart (Independent Blues Broadcasters Association) with national & international airplay on countless radio stations.

They are now looking to further build their reputation as a hard hitting, entertaining band at major festivals throughout the UK… including here in Colne!
