Clitheroe Blues, Rhythm & Rock Festival

Solid Entertainments is delighted to announce that Clitheroe Blues, Rhythm & Rock Festival will be returning for the third year to The Grand on Sunday 13th October 2019!

A former Victorian cinema, The Grand is a Grade II listed building and was transformed into a ground-breaking performing arts venue in 2008. It is one of the most incredible live performance spaces in the north of England and the alchemy between artist and audience is heightened by the intimacy of the room and the clarity of the acoustics. Legendary artists from all over the world have and continue to perform here and in keeping with this tradition, this years line-up is headlined by Albert Lee and five other bands at the pinnacle of their profession!

Albert Lee is one of the most respected and renowned guitarists in music history and over his long and illustrious career he has worked with The Everly Brothers, Eric Clapton, Emmylou Harris and The Crickets.......and many more

The British-born country-rock artist started his career during the emerging rock 'n' roll scene of sixties London, when he swapped bands with the likes of Jimmy Page and Chris Farlowe.

The full line up is as follows:

· Albert Lee –what else is there to say!

· Dani Wilde – with five successful studio albums under her belt delving deep into her blues and Americana influences, she has earned her reputation as a world-class singer and songwriter!

· Crow Black Chicken – formed in Cork, Ireland in 2009, the trio combine elements of folk and hard rock with the blues rock and draw comparison with the sound and presence of ZZ Top!

· Storm Warning – lauded by the UK blues press as a classy, contemporary blues band, they play superbly crafted original blues rock songs and breathing new life into blues standards!

· The Luke Doherty Band– since he found an old music VHS in a cupboard when he was 7 years old, featuring several Blues players, Luke is never happier than when he is playing Blues!

. Deep Blues Sea – the band's music has been defined as 21st century blues - new shoots from the old roots - taking the blues out for a walk in the sun and the rain, the here and now!

No need to worry about searching for food and drinks on the day either, there will be a range of alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages, real ales available and a varied menu that should meet everyone's taste!
