Blues Festival in seventh year

The Patonga Sports and Community Club is set to present its seventh annual Patonga Blues Across the Bay festival on Saturday, November 15.

Event organiser Ms Jill Tweedie said the local festival was planned as a day-out for the whole family.

The blues festival will be held at the Broken Bay Sport and Recreation Centre located at the mouth of the Hawkesbury River.

The line-up includes Phil Manning, Wizard and Oz, Beachhead, and Alison Penny and the Money Makers.

Ferries will be departing Patonga and Brooklyn to take participants to the festival.

"We don't claim to be the biggest, but we can claim to be the only 'water access only' blues music festival in Australia," Ms Tweedie said.

She said the festival was a sell-out last year and was expected to sell out again this year.

Tickets are $40 per adult and $25 for children under 14-years-old.
