The Cat Empire, Blue King Brown, Tortured Soul @ Stage 88, (19/11/06)
A warm and sunny afternoon was a brilliant setting for folks to get a little bit of reggae, a little bit of jazz and a little bit of pop under their belts for summer, and The Cat Empire, Tortured Soul and Blue King Brown were happy to oblige.
(Definitely Not) All Blues... (11/05/06)
A melting pot of styles, sounds, smells & various other salubrious offerings, Byron Blues Fest was certainly not all Blues. Once again, an experience not to be missed although the rain swallowed half of of it that just made the adventure all the more interesting. Photos by Lucien Lloyd-West.
