THERE’S just a week to go to this year’s Great British Rhythm

fans—from all comers of the globe — will be converging on Colne. The visiting blues enthusiasts will be arriving any day now with their rucksacks and tents for yet another
year’s blues bonanza promises to be
no different. Some great names will be appear ing on the two main stages as well as lesser known artists performing at the Lesser Municipal Hall and many of the town’s pubs and clubs including the Crown Hotel, Jim’s Cafe, Colne Conservative Club and

take to the stage. International artists from America, Canada, New Zealand, Belgium, Germany and France, will be ready to perform at Colne Municipal Hall, and the town’s leisure centre will provide the venue for the British players to sing all kinds of blues from the smoochy slow to zydeco rock. This festival, which is recognised as one of the most exciting events in the British blues calendar, has, over the past six years, attracted thou sands of fans to the Bonny town on the hill for a Bank Holiday week end of sheer blues music—and this
