FANS of the Belfast City Blues Festival, which was cancelled earlier this year due to Covid-19, will be able to enjoy a special one-off online gig this weekend.
The `Live From The Bunker' event, which will take place on Saturday 2pm to 10pm, will feature performances from a wide range of artists including Lee Hedley, Sam Davidson’s Taste, Mirenda Rosenberg, who will stream from the US, The Johnny Max Band, streaming from Canada, The Red Hot Roosters, Dom Martin, Light and Tony Villars.
Festival director Seamus O'Neill said the decision to cancel the festival in April had not been taken lightly.
"The wellbeing of our friends, fans, musicians and Blues family, alongside the amazing staff, volunteers, sponsors and festival team who support us every year was always our number one priority," he said.
"As we consider what we can do later in the year or next year we’re pleased to host this special online show live from the Blues Bunker."
"Each year the festival has grown and become such a vibrant part of the city’s musical calendar. I'm delighted that we all can play, albeit online, for fans and hopefully raise some money to make sure the festival comes back bigger and better than ever."
