The 2022 Burton Agnes Jazz and Blues Festival – The Alligators

Posted on July 13, 2022 by Opher

After Dogfinger Steve had warmed us up it was time for the old festival favourites, The Alligators, to get us all up and bopping with their high-power Blues!! As a raw, dirty R&B Blues band they don’t come much better. Hot, sweaty and ROCKIN’.

Towards the end they were joined on stage by the saxophones of Ben Beatty and Simon Cunliffe-Lister for a raucous end to a great day.

The 2022 Burton Agnes Jazz and Blues Festival – In the Bar Tent with Dogfinger Steve

The atmosphere in the tent was tasty!! Up close and personal.

Dogfinger Steve did not disappoint. His searing cigar box blues and diddly-bo was reminiscent of Seasick Steve – loud, raw and rockin’. He treated us to an array of rhythms and blasted us with naked electricity.

The 2022 Burton Agnes Jazz and Blues Festival – Elles Bailey

Posted on July 12, 2022 by Opher

Blues power – dynamic and driving Blues Rock! Elles Bailey really stormed the stage with a fabulous band featuring brilliant searing guitar, great keyboards and a tight rhythm section. Took me by surprise. I’d never heard of them but I will certainly be going to catch them again. I think they are playing York!!
