London Blues Festival

WHAT: The London Blues Festival is a week-long extravaganza of blues, soul, roots and jazz, held in some of London’s funkiest, most interesting venues. It’s the first outing for this festival, and if it takes off it promises to become a welcome fixture on London’s musical calendar.

WHEN: May 15-22.

DO IT BECAUSE: The outdoor London Blues Festival stretches out for the rest of the summer and massive stadium acts tour London all-year round, but you’ll have few better chances to check out some of London’s grittiest live music bars, like famous Soho haunts Ronnie Scott’s and Ain’t Nothin’ But Blues …
