Bluesfest NZ
Here\'s some info about a great upcoming Blues Festival in NZ. King Leo and the Dogs aren\'t performing at the fest, but we thought this would be of interest to Blues fans out there. As sister events to the East Coast International Blues And Roots Music Festival (Byron Bay Bluesfest) there are now three Australian festivals that are more than proud to host artists and ethos associated with one of Australia?s premier international annual events. In 2008 New Zealand has achieved a rare honour in becoming a part of this festival circuit with Bluesfest NZ (the Coromandel Peninsula Blues And Roots Music Festival 2008). Bluesfest NZ is set to be positioned in Whitianga on the glorious East Coast of the Coromandel Peninsula and bring to New Zealand shores a flavour of the amazing Byron Bay Blues Festival. The inaugural festival is scheduled as a one day event and will play host to some impressive names in blues, reggae, funk, roots pop and swamp rock. The festival will take place on Saturday 22nd, March, 2008.
