International Blues Week October 2nd - 9th 2010
Posted on: Aug 27, 2010 by John Anderson
We are asking you to be involved in creating an event as an organiser, a performer, a player, a sponsor or a supporter and, of course, to enjoy yourself playing or listening to your favourite music.
All we ask is that you raise awareness of the EBA in all local and event publicity and raise funds for the EBA through sponsorship, collections, donations or from profits.
Participation could take the form of announcements and collections at regular open mics, sessions or club events held during October (the UK’s ‘Black History Month’), or like-minded individuals could get together to put on a special session, jam, gig, ‘Blues Day’ or talk.
The EBA will promote the week nationally via radio and the national ‘blues press’ and will provide downloadable ‘national’ posters, leaflets and promo material on its website.
The EBA will also provide website and email advice and guidance on general practical aspects of promoting events.
Local organisers will need to find a friendly venue, organise the local publicity and plan, and arrange and host the event.
We aim to 'start small' this year but generate enough interest to make this an annual national event.
