DUNDEE BLUES BONANZA
19 YEARS OLD AND STILL PROUDLY FLYING THE FLAG FOR SCOTLAND`S BLUES SCENE
Born in 1958, the son of famed blues harmonica player Carey Bell, Lurrie Bell picked up his father’s guitar at age of five and taught himself to play. He was clearly gifted. In addition, he grew up with many of the Chicago blues legends around him. Eddie Taylor, Big Walter Horton, Eddie C. Campbell, Eddie Clearwater, Lovie Lee, Sunnyland Slim, Jimmy Dawkins and many more were frequent visitors to his house.

Sadly, this year we are without one of the committee members, Billy 'The Blindman' Allardyce.
Billy died of cancer a matter of weeks after playing at last year's Bonanza with his band, Papamojo.
He did a huge amount of work promoting blues music, not least founding and running his online Blindman's Blues Forum.
Billy is sadly missed by his family, Hazel, Dawn, Adam and Aaron, his many friends worldwide, and by his bandmates, Stefan and Dave.
