Welcome to the official home of the Great British R&B Festival, this year we are celebrating our 20th Anniversary, with more blues, more entertainment and more young talent.

As it's our 20th Anniversary it seemed only fair, that we should send Colne into true R&B frenzy, with what is sure to be the biggest and best R&B Festival in the UK.
This year we are fortunate to have some of the best blues artists many whom performed at the very first festival in 1990

Stann Webb's Chicken Shack
King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys
Paul Lamb & the Kingsnakes

to name just a few

We are also looking forward seeing the new up and coming blues talent that will be gracing the British Stage over the weekend.

Blues Matters! are once again playing host at the British Stage, with their Blues Matters! Day on the Sunday

and we have a truly global lineup blasting the International and Acoustic Stages.

Another first for the festival is the inclusion of the Cream Instrument Cable Stage which features the latest in sound technology on Monday night at the Acoustic Stage. For more information about the Cream Instrument Cable Stage please click HERE.

With more roadhouses and family entertainment gracing the streets and venues you can be sure to be entertained this August Bank Holiday at the celebration of 20 years of The Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival, Colne.

We look forward to seeing you there.
