The Swanage Blues & Roots Festival takes place on 3rd to 5th October.

The festival is a celebration of the Blues in all its forms - rural, urban, electric and acoustic - with over 40 gigs in 15 venues.

There is free admission to all venues but please donate generously as it costs the organiser, Steve Darrington, a lot of money, time and effort to organise.
