Welcome to the 21st Great British R&B Festival.

Welcome to the official home of the Great British R&B Festival. This year we are celebrating our 21st Anniversary, with more blues, more entertainment and more talent.

Year after year we have been bringing you the best in both national and international R&B music – and this year is no exception.

As usual we have a fantastic line-up, with some of the biggest names in the world of Blues gracing our stages. Here are just a few to whet your appetite -

Imelda May 
Georgie Fame
Chris Farlowe
Dr Feelgood
Sandi Thom
and all the way from the USA - Omar and The Howlers.

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

Radio Lancashire will once again be taking control of the British Stage on the opening night and new for this year will be the introduction of the Jessica Foxley Stage, where young, local R&B bands will be given a rare opportunity to perform in front of hundreds of dedicated Blues fans.

Once again we are pleased to have Barnfield Construction as a valued sponsor for the 2010 festival and are also delighted to announce our on-going affiliation with East Lancashire Community Rail Partnership.

With more roadhouses and family entertainment gracing the streets and venues, you can be sure to be entertained this August Bank Holiday as we celebrate 21 years of The Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival.

We look forward to seeing you there!
