Rising British blues star Clare Free is in the running to receive a prestigious 2011 British Blues Award. Two of Clare’s songs - Funky Mama’s Kitchen Blues and Fool To Pride - are up for nomination for the Kevin Thorpe Award For Original British Blues Song. On receiving the news of her nomination Clare- who recently became
a Fret-King endorsee on the recommendation of Playmusic Magazine – commented “Being nominated for the KT Award means so much to me, and to have two songs put forward in one year is almost unreal. Our tour has been going great, and my band and I have never worked so hard - we’re loving every second of it!”
The public can vote on which songs will be shortlisted to receive the KT
Award by logging on to the British Blues Awards website. There, they will find a number of shortlists, picked by various blues radio shows, and they can choose their favourite from each list. Songs in the running for the award can be voted for until April 18th, when a final shortlist will be created. The winners will be announced at the Newark Blues Festival on April 30th. PM
