Eighth blues festival planned
The eighth annual Patonga Blues Across the Bay festival will be held on Saturday, November 21.
Event organiser Ms Jill Tweedie said: "Although Blues Across the Bay is only a very small event by festival standards, we do manage to pack a huge show into a four-hour time period.
"There is only enough space for 600 people but those 600 always go away with great memories of a special day at the Broken Bay Sport and Recreation Centre.
"It's just a short ferry ride from Patonga."
Ms Tweedie said the event will begin with a Darkinjung Welcome to Country ceremony.
"New local Jack Evans and The Spyders will be playing some very edgy blues to warm us up for the afternoon," Ms Tweedie said.
"Next, the amazing barrel-house piano-playing and gravel-voiced Pugsley Buzzard will delight and entertain."
Featured artist will be the multi-award winning Australian queen of blues Ms Gail Page with the wonderful Parris Macleod Band.
