The Big Blues Tribe The Tribe forms the centrepiece of our festivals, a full nine-piece blues orchestra in the style of BB King, Ray Charles or more recently Jools Holland. With five brass, four singers and all led by one of the Midlands leading blues singers, The Tribe make a BIG impact with a BIG sound. “Any of you who haven’t seen them yet really should because there’s nowhere near enough of our music performed with such skill, authenticity and pure verve.” – Blues in Britain magazine, |
