Newark Blues Festival
Blues at the Castle
To be hosted once again in the grounds of historic Newark Castle on Saturday 11th September, the "Blues at the Castle" special event will feature four top UK bands performing first class modern and traditional blues.
The 2009 event showcased local Newark bands The Unusual Suspects and Stormy Monday who provided admirable support for the awesome Oli Brown Band and King King. Check out the videos on the Media page.
