The Best Music Festival in the Southern Hemisphere: Bluesfest 2011

Byron Bay

Surf at BB

Groove with the dolphins

Tomorrow marks the end of the Bluesfest 2011, the best blues and roots musical festival in the southern hemisphere, if not in the world. Held in Byron Bay, on the northern coast of the Australian state of New South Wales, the festival DEFINITELY gets the gong for Major International Festival Held In Closest Place To Paradise.

Ernest Ranglin

One of the Washerman’s Dog’s old school mates who lives in that amazing part of the world has requested a special mix of some of the acts that headlined this year’s event. With great pleasure and in the hope of enticing all readers and followers of the Dog to save up their shekels for Bluesfest 2012, the following Selection Musicale ala Carte is offered for your listening and grooving pleasure.

Enjoy MP!
