Review for HEBDEN BRIDGE BLUES FESTIVAL 23rd -25th May 2014 @ Hebden Bridge, W Yorkshire http://www.yorkshirebluesfestival.co.uk/ A happy and sad occasion ... the festival, yet again went down a storm, but sadly it was to be the last 'Hebden Bridge Blues Festival'. After four great years, and two prestigious awards under their belt, the Hebden team have decided to call it a day ... but that didn't stop it going out with a bang!!! I couldn't get to see everyone on the line up, so apologies to those who don't get a mention. Arriving Friday we pitched up our tent, in the rain, at the delightful Horsehold Farm, up on the tops, then headed into town. The weather was a bit different from last year, but we were certain to enjoy the festival, rain or shine! First up on the Main Stage in the Chapel, was 'Julian Burdock', doing a solo set with multi electronic bits and pieces, with electric and acoustic guitars. Blues with and 'edge'! http://www.julianburdock.com/ Following Julian, were one of my favourite bands at this time, 'David Migden & The Twisted Roots'. They didn't disappoint. Not a traditional blues band, they lean towards jazz, with alternative overtones ... think Zappa. A great set. David has been nominated for the Male Vocalist of the Year in the British Blues Awards 2014 and anyone who has heard him sing can understand why. http://www.davidmigdenandthedirtywords.com/

Review for HEBDEN BRIDGE BLUES FESTIVAL

A happy and sad occasion ... the festival, yet again went down a storm, but sadly it was to be the last
'Hebden Bridge Blues Festival'. After four great years, and two prestigious awards under their belt,
the Hebden team have decided to call it a day ... but that didn't stop it going out with a bang!!!
I couldn't get to see everyone on the line up, so apologies to those who don't get a mention.
Arriving Friday we pitched up our tent, in the rain, at the delightful Horsehold Farm, up on the tops,
then headed into town. The weather was a bit different from last year, but we were certain to enjoy
the festival, rain or shine!
First up on the Main Stage in the Chapel, was 'Julian Burdock', doing a solo set with multi electronic
bits and pieces, with electric and acoustic guitars. Blues with and 'edge'!

Following Julian, were one of my favourite bands at this time, 'David Migden & The Twisted Roots'.
They didn't disappoint. Not a traditional blues band, they lean towards jazz, with alternative
overtones ... think Zappa. A great set. David has been nominated for the Male Vocalist of the Year in
the British Blues Awards 2014 and anyone who has heard him sing can understand why.
