23 Aug - More Blues for Dundee
"Blues on the Corner" is a semi regular blues gig on Saturday afternoons at Duke's Corner in Dundee. This week features PapaMojo who are no strangers to the Dundee Blues Scene. The trio will be onstage playing a mix of Delta and Down Home Country Blues from 3pm. until 5pm, and admission is free. Keep checking the Blues Bonanza website for future Blues on the Corner listings. Further details can be obtained from Billy Allardyce (bill@the-blindman.com)

More of your photos have been added to the 2010 gallery. Thanks to all contributors, your efforts are greatly appreciated. There are still some photos to be added, and these will go up shortly.

Thanks once again, Alan
 

09 Aug - 2010 Photo Archive Added
The 2010 Photo Archive has now been added to the site. Many thanks once again to our Official Photographer Stewart Malecki and thanks also to the many “unofficial” photographers who have also sent me some great pics. I will be adding these o the site over the next few days. As always if you would like a copy of the original photos, please e-mail me at admin@dundeebluesbonanza.co.uk with some contact details and I will forward your e-mail to the photographer who will contact you with his or her terms. Stewart can also be contacted directly at samthedrummer@tiscali.co.uk for any of his photos.

In the centre photo above, Mud and Giles are proudly wearing their orange "Band of Elephants" wristbands. These wristbands are worn in support of The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT), one of the DBB sponsored charities this year. Should you wish to get your own wristband, they can be purchased from the DSWT UK Branch, by e-mailing Rob at robbrandford@sheldrickwildlifetrust.org. Please mention The Dundee Blues Bonanza in your e-mail if you could. You won’t get a discount or anything exciting like that that, but you will be showing our support of their worthwhile efforts.
 

28 July - Another Great Year For The DBB
Another Bonanza over and judging by the feed back we have been receiving it appears that the Bonanza has lost none of it’s “Buzz”. The crowds filled the venues once again and the bands played their socks off as usual. Feedback and Photos are flying in at the moment (See Feedback Page) and we will endeavour to post these as soon as possible.

We at The DBB committee would like to thank everyone, sponsors, fans, artists, venues for making 2010 a Bonanza to remember.

HELP Required
If you think that you have skills that may be helpful to the Bonanza Team please contact us, as we would welcome some new faces aboard for the coming year. Simply contact us using the information on our “Contacts” page to discuss things.

Feedback Required
Let us know about your Bonanza experience. Can we as a committee or the venues or Dundee as a City etc improve any areas to further enhance your weekend, because after all the Bonanza !!IS YOURS!! not ours. We are only here to try to make the “machine” work. We will post your comments on our new “Feedback” page. (As is usual we reserve the right to edit comments if we feel they are inappropriate etc.)

Photos Required
Once again we hope that you may find time to submit any photos of Band you went to see at this years event. We will only publish photos from actual bonanza performances, and due to web space constraints, we will only publish one or maybe two photos per act. We also reserve the right to edit the photo size to fit with our website parameters. (See our “Photo Gallery” page for terms and conditions).
 

Keep watching this space for the latest news and many thanks again to you all.
