Arbroath Smokie Blues
The end o' an auld sang
The Organisers of The Smokie Blues have decided regretfully to bring the curtain down.
Last year's event was the 3rd and final Smokie Blues Bonanza, various factors and issues have brought about the demise of what was shaping up to be a major Scottish Blues event.
Thanks go out to Alfie, Brian and the rest of the organisers and also to those fans who travelled from all over to enjoy and take part in the past 3 years.

A New Record Label:
A new Blues and Roots Music record label "Front Porch Records", has launched in Scotland.
Front Porch Records is the brainchild of Karl "Son" Henry and Billy "Blindman" Allardyce and is aimed at removing control from the hands of the "suits" in the music industry and giving it back to the performers.
Front Porch Records will be "Artist Driven", in reality a co-operative run by the performers, giving unsigned bands the opportunity to market and distribute their own products with not too much effort.
