The Diggle Blues Festival is back!

The four-day Diggle Blues Festival will be back in June.

The hugely popular festival will take place between Thursday, June 15 through to Sunday, June 18, 2023.

Admission to all venues is still free.

The format is the same as earlier years.

You watch the first band at the first venue, then you have half an hour to walk to the next venue, get a drink, find a seat, and then watch the next band, and so on.

It's a bit like a musical tour of the village of Diggle, especially on the Saturday when organisers have four bands performing.

All performances are indoors so there's no need to worry about the weather.

Just turn up and listen to some really cool "jeans-in-the-fridge" blues (and rock) music.

If your dad likes music, why not surprise him with a trip to the festival for his Father's Day treat on the Sunday, and it won't cost much.
