We are increasingly being asked to act as compere or master of ceremonies at Festivals, Blues week-ends,gigs and the like.
Digital Blues is at the New Crawdaddy Blues Club in Billericay every Thursday introducing the acts, providing the audience with news of forthcoming gigs and playing tracks from new releases as well as old favourites. Digital Blues can bring an added dimension to your event with a knowledgeable and articulate presenter and great sounds. We can plug our gear straight into your PA/sound system and away we go!
In 2004 Digital Blues was at one day of the Hickling Blues Festival in Norfolk along with a number of great bands including our good friends, the Blues Matters! bands, Danny Bryant's RedEye Band and Roadhouse.

A superb line-up with Eugene Hideaway Bridges, Jimmy Griswold (USA), Blue Thunder with Paul Williams on vocals, The SPIKEdrivers, The Swamp Cats and NuBlues.
