The 11th Big Wheel Blues Festival
Isle of Man
May 2-3, 2009
Having re-relaunched the Blues Club in Douglas on the third Wednesday of each month from November 2008 and after several months of planning, the Committee is pleased and excited to announce the acts that will play at the 11th consecutive, 10th Anniversary Big Wheel Blues Festival.
Thanks to the continuing generosity of our main stage sponsors, Cains Advocates, on Saturday May 2 the headline act will be Jerimiah Marques and the Blue Aces and on Sunday May 3 the headliner will be the Kyla Brox Band featuring Victor Brox. Saturday’s opening act is Rodney Branigan followed by the Rogue Dolls and Sunday’s opener is Miller Anderson followed by the Eddie Martin Trio. Full details of these excellent bands can now be found on the Artists page.

Saturday and Sunday afternoon will be ‘family time’ in Laxey Glen Gardens and we are hoping to continue to enhance the festival atmosphere with additional family entertainment and children’s activities. This is in addition to the free concerts in the Pavilion Ballroom featuring two full afternoons of entertainment from local musicians.
The committee hopes that the weather will, yet again, be kind for this central part of the Festival.

Both nights will be ticket-only events. Tickets are to be priced at £16.50 for each night – once again a complete bargain for so much music of international quality.
Tickets are now on sale on-line from this website and will soon be available from Peter Norris Music and Ramsey Music Supplies.
See you there!
John, Pete, Dave, Jonno, Tim, Seth & honorary lifetime president Dave Wade.
