Ramsbottom becomes the centre of the

blues world when the most exciting rhythm

and blues artists gather to perform a

weekend of top quality music.

The festival starts on Friday with a free trail

across Ramsbottom pubs. Artists will be

performing across the town all weekend.

On Saturday and Sunday a number of

fantastic musicians play the main stage

at the Cricket Club from 2pm, alongside

family friendly workshops and stalls.

This promises to be an exhilarating

weekend of live music in one of the most

beautiful destinations in Lancashire.

Ramsbottom Rhythm and Blues Festival

is promoted by The Met (a registered

charity, no 701879). We would like to

thank our funders and sponsors, without

whom the festival would not be possible.
