Table Mountain Blues Summit 2013

The Table Mountain Blues Summit 2013 is happening at Hillcrest Quarry on  Friday 22 and Saturday 23 November. The Cream of South Africa's Blues- Rock Artists will be taking the stage. To celebrate and trace the roots of Blues in South Africa, the Blues Summit ran a competition in October to trace the history of Blues in South Africa. Blues Summit organiser Richard Pryor announced that the winner of the competition is Lisa Flack. “It was an inclusive and a well-researched report which made very interesting reading considering that there is not much on the history of Blues in SA out there. She also accounted her own very recent introduction to the Blues and is now an avid SA Blues supporter.” Lisa made special mention of some of the bands that kick-started the development of blues in SA in the sixties and the eighties: “Band O’ Gypsies, The Flaming Firestones, the Down and Out Blues, and the Blues Broers. Now in its 8th year with the continued help of main sponsor Combustion Technology and Paul Bothner Music, The Table Mountain Blues Summit has established itself as a top music festival and is ready to hit awesome and epic status in 2013. Featuring some of the finest blues artists in SA over the past 30 years, from the Blues Broers to the new bloods Natasha Meister and Crimson House Blues, the line-up for 2013 promises to move your mojo soul.Details about the Blues Summit at www.bluesfest.co.za
