"Cray came to Cumbria this weekend and, quite frankly, blew everyone else off the stage. Joyful unrestrained, soulful blues from start to finish.

With that the 2010 Maryport Blues Festival was over for another year. The organisers here have used their experience to carve themselves an outstanding reputation in the British Blues Music Scene and long may it continue. Here's looking forward to 2011."

A very special Maryport Blues Festival starts tomorrow
 
With three days of  the first class musicians from the US and UK including The Robert Cray Band, Booker T, Paul Carrack, Canned Heat, The Hoax, Mica Paris, The Holmes Brothers, Paddy Milner, plus over 40 other bands, it’s a treat for any live music lover. BBC Radio 2 with Paul Jones will also be down here recording.
 
Great music, great atmosphere all set in the lovely harbour town of Maryport. If you haven’t got your tickets yet take a look at the website for all the details. www.maryportblues.com

As usual coaches will be running over the weekend to transport festival goers to and from Maryport and the local towns.

In recognition of the amazing work done by the emergency services and the many other organisations during the terrible floods in Cockermouth last November, Maryport blues festival committee are donating festival tickets to Cockermouth Mountain rescue, Fire Service, Ambulance, Maryport Inshore Rescue Boat and  The Duke of Lancasters regiment soldiers injured in conflict in Afganisatnan

These organisations and many others braved extreme conditions and worked tirelessly for many hours back in November and the obvious way we can show our appreciation is by donating tickets
