** Abertillery Blues Festival **
Friday 17th - Saturday 18th July at Abertillery Park
The Abertillery Blues Festival 2008 once again proved to be a huge success, attracting visitors from around the UK to see some of the best acts in Welsh, British and international blues.
A top line up has been announced for this year's Abertillery Blues Festival. Now in its fifth year it is set to be the biggest yet with a host of international talent and a growing fringe festival in the town on Thursday 16th and Sunday 19th July. 
Legendary guitarist Andy Fairweather Low, one of the UK’s most eclectic and charismatic musicians is heading up this year’s festival along with his band The Low Riders.
The array of British and international talent set to take to the stage includes Alvin Youngblood Hart’s Muscle Theory (Headliner for the Friday night), The Oli Brown Band, Jay Tamkin Band, Earl Thomas & Paddy Milner & The Big Sounds, Lightnin’ Willie & The Poorboys, Derrin Nauendorf, Lisa Mills Band and the Kendall James Band.
All are thrilled to be taking part this year in particular local group the Kendall James band. After seeing Ian Siegal at the 2006 Festival one band member was inspired to form the group and go back to the basics of the blues. Now a couple of years on they are playing the Saturday night of ‘their’ festival.
For the first time camping has been introduced at just £5 per tent, encouraging more people to stay overnight and soak up the atmosphere. To ease the burden on the cost for festival goers, prices have been frozen for 2009 meaning tickets start from just £15 with an early bird offer available until 31st May 2009. Tickets are available from the box office on 01495 355800

** Earl Thomas with Paddy Milner and the Big Sounds - July dates **
Earl Thomas with Paddy Milner and the Big Sounds will be in the UK for three dates on this July plus a hop over to Malaga.  
"Singer Earl Thomas grew up in rural Tennessee and was a British rock & roll fan. Piano player and composer Paddy Milner was born in Scotland, grew up in England and loved American blues. Years later they would meet, realizing their soulful bond had transcended space and time. They, who seemed so different on the outside, harbored a kindred musical spirit on the inside. And it is reflected on their new recording “Earl Thomas With Paddy Milner & The Big Sounds,” a stunning collection of contemporary blues/rock."

** Lightnin' Willie and the Poorboys Summer UK Dates **

From California, Lightnin' Willie and the Poorboys will once again be on tour in the UK. 

"Willie's wild stage get-up, complete with US Cavalry hat and billowing, scarlet neckerchief, gives him the look of an extra from a John Wayne film, who completes his eccentric wardrobe with oddments of battlefield trophies from fallen combatants.   And it's not just the togs. Willie has an arresting mix of musical styles too.  He is a bluesman who worships at a broad church, so the spirit of Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Bob Wills and Duane Eddy put in an appearance at this starry tent-show-seance, lead by some wily work on his Fender Strat."
