THE 40th SWANAGE BLUES FESTIVAL 3-6 October 2024

Wow - what an amazing weekend!

Thank you to all who attended, performed, hosted, and helped out with all the many tasks involved in last weekend's 40th Swanage Blues Festival.

I think you'll all agree it was a great success with so many friendly faces and lots of amazing music, which was a great tribute to our father and festival founder Steve Darrington, who sadly passed away in June this year.

It was certainly a festival of mixed emotions for us, but it was great to meet so many happy people who had come from far and wide to enjoy themselves listening to, or playing some top quality live music in the beautiful seaside town of Swanage.

We will be taking a much needed break for a little while, but will be back for the 25th anniversary of the Swanage Blues Festival 3rd - 5th October 2025.

Thank you for your continued support for this amazing festival.
