Big Blues Music Festival
To some, it was the "Little Festival that Could." But after the March 2011 festival, "little" is no longer a word one can associate with Kleinmond's Big Blues Music Festival. In its first solo year as the Western Cape's premiere blues music fest, the Big Blues Music Festival defied naysayers by mounting a near-flawless event with arguably the strongest line-up of blues artists ever to be assembled on one stage.
The festival will once again offer value for money packages and offers to include accommodation, entry to the area's major tourist attractions and a range of additional discounts. General festival facilities include a 1050 square metre marquee for shade, safe parking, a buddy-bus to get you safely home, a kiddies club, arts stalls and more.
The 20 artists featured on the line-up include music legends such as Vusi Mahlasela, Piet Botha and The Blues Broers (featuring Albert Frost). The festival certainly prides itself in offering stage time to up-and-coming young blues bands and will this year include acts such as the Hellfire Blues Club, Sixgun Gospel and Crimson House Blues – most of them voted in to the line-up by Facebook fans. The ladies play a predominant role with Charlie King, In The Deepend and Natasha Meister on stage amongst others.
Old favourites such as Fender endorsee Dan Patlansky, popular Boulevard Blues Band, and the ever evolving Gerald Clark are also among the performers. The full list of artists, with performance times, and festival ticket prices (range R150 to R250 per person) are available from the website www.bigblues.co.za.
Price Range: R150 - R250
