As regards "Boxstock", I've got the option on a few alternative dates for the Slade Rooms in Wolverhampton, so I'm just waiting on the venue to come back to me and confirm. It will be a free all-day event (workshops, open mic, trade stands etc) with ticketed/pay on the door evening gig. It's a cracking venue with a nice bar, a great live room and a serious PA.

If there's enough interest I can organise an East London festival as I know a couple of venues who'd be up for it?
Comment by David Bowes on April 12, 2016 at 5:19am

I seem to remember Boxstock was canceled last year as the venue pulled out. I would like to attend one depending on location, Elstaed may be too far.  I defiantly not a player.

Someone organised a festival in Denby Dale, I think it was 2014 (brains a bit fuzzy with age).  Was a belting all dayer - cracking music, loads of beer, and local to me so I could walk home!  It was well attended but I would imagine a lot of work went into organizing it.  I wouldn't know where to start.

Nice one stumble. If you get the dates ready, I can book a holiday or two.

I think there's a regular CBG festival called BoxStock held in Birmingham and organised by ChickenBoneJohn. Details of last year's event here:

Not sure when it will be this year.

For blues festivals, if you're into the blues, this site is worth a look for definite:

Hope you all find what you're looking for and maybe I'll see some of you there :)
