The Belfast Blues festival returns to Belfast this August for its third outing, featuring the much-loved journeyman Sherman Robertson. Robertson is one of the world's top ranked blues guitar players and with his distinctive honey and cigar vocals, has been at the forefront of the blues scene around the world. Taking place in the Cathedral Quarter of the City, this is the third year of the festival, which will be running over the August bank holiday weekend. The festival will as usual be showcasing Northern Ireland's local blues musicians, along with other great blues acts from England, Scotland and Ireland taking to stages throughout Belfast City. Sherman Robertson will be headlining at the Oh Yeah Centre, where local favourite Rab McCullough will be making his own appearance. There will also be a tribute to the one and only Gary Moore, who past away this year, performed by Ulster's finest Willie Byrne. Various events will taking place throughout the city, including the John Hewitt bar, The Cloth Ear and the Kitchen bar. However, a number of special events besides the Oh Yeah finale, the most notable being the Blues on the Boat event with Ken Haddock (no pun intended), Rab McCullough and Gordon McAllister. The Belfast Blues Festival runs from August 28 to 30. Visit www.belfastcityblues.com for the full rundown. (DW)
