Welcome to the 14th Jazz Blues & Music Festival Website which has lots of information about the bands and events happening over Easter 2010. This year we are pleased as anything to introduce some fantastic new bands and musicians and welcome back some old friends too.
Nantwich Civic Hall sees a fantastic gig schedule over the Easter weekend. Snake Davis is back in a new event on Thursday, a Northern Soul night, along with a full band and top DJs. On Friday The Blockheads will be on stage and set for a manic performance, then on Saturday we have a fabulous sixties night with a double bill of The Move and The Animals. We are very pleased to welcome back Geno Washington as well who will be appearing on Sunday. The Easter weekend is completed on Monday night with old favourites Nearly Dan ( who never failed to sell out at The Crown) and Rumours of Fleetwood Mac, the incredible Fleetwood Mac tribute and their breathtaking stage show.
The Crown Hotel is lining up some of the best festival musicians in the UK. On Friday we look forward to the Return of Kit Holmes and her Roots Guitar style on a double bill withlocal hero Jim Kirkpatrick. Saturday sees piano player Ben Waters perform, promising a top notch performance having been rated along side Jools Holland to name but one and, on Monday we are chuffed as heck to welcome back Sandi Thom after her 2009 sell out (get your tickets early for this one).
