Durham Festival seeks seventh heaven
SOLID Entertainments is delighted to announce that Durham Blues, Rhythm and Rock Festival 7 will be taking place at the city's Gala Theatre on Saturday, June 17.
Back in Durham for the seventh year running, this festival is a showcase for live music and emerging talent in the UK. With six acts on an amp-driven Main Street Stage and six on the tranquil Blues Cafe Acoustic Stage, this is a must for people of all musical tastes.
So far three acts have been confirmed for the Main Street Stage:
Dr Feelgood – formed on Canvey Island in Essex, in the early 1970s, the timeless Dr Feelgood remains one of the most popular and exciting live rhythm and blues acts in the business
Debbie Bond (US) – singer, guitar player and songwriter Bond has paid her dues in the Alabama backwoods for more than 30 years and her singing has been compared to Maria Muldaur and Bonnie Raitt
Brian Rawson Band – Belfast born Rawson was a member of The Tearjerkers, who toured with Thin Lizzy, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Doll by Doll and Rachel Sweet.
Dr Blue as recently been confirmed for an appearance on the Blues Cafe Acoustic Stage.
With a mix of artists from the UK and overseas and two very different stages, festival-goers can expect to see top class live performances and hear a range of incredible sounds with sets that incorporate a creative mix of blues, rock, r&b and acoustic numbers
Not forgetting the range of foods available, selection of real ale/ciders and other beverages, and time to wander around a beautiful city, there is no doubt that this will be a great days entertainment and memorable day in the North-East
