Memories of 2006

The inaugural Northill Blues Festival took place in July 2006 and was a resounding success with fantastic bands, fantastic weather and an even more fantastic audience.  Here are some of the comments we received afterwards and some photographs to wet your appetite for the future.  To see more photos from 2006 click HERE 

just a quick note to say that the event was brilliant! Thanks for taking the time to put this together, I know these things are not easy and if you and your fellow organisers had not worked hard, we would not have ended up with such an enjoyable and chilled day.

I hope you are thinking of 2007 and the next one! and we will be there and hopefully I will remember the sun cream next time around!

 A very enjoyable summers evening, well done, great event and good bands,

hope there will be another next year!

 We would like to thank you for a wonderful day yesterday, great weather, great music and it was fantastically organised.

We are already looking forward to next years festival

 A quick email to say a big thank you for a great day yesterday.  Really well organised and some great bands.  We particularly enjoyed the Untouchables, Texas Thunder and the Colehouse Walker Blues Band

 Just a quick mail to say how much we all enjoyed playing at the festival, I really think you and your team did a superb job with everything going so smoothly, so please pass on our thanks to all of your team for keeping the Blues LIVE!

I will look forward to seeing the pics!

Oh and by the way we got a booking from someone as well

Thanks again

Keith P & the rest of the boys THE UNTOUCHABLES 

 Congratulations to you and all the other brave souls who worked so hard to put on the 1st Northill Blues Festival.  May it be the first of many.  We all thought it was a great success and we really enjoyed ourselves.  Many thanks for making us a part of it.

All the best and don't forget us if we can help out again in the future.

Regards,

Mike Chase (Grapevine Blues)

Please pass our congratulations and compliments to all those involved in yesterday's Blues Festival. Although we were only there for part of the day, it was clearly an excellent event, much enjoyed by all who attended. Having been involved in organising various events over the years, we know just how much planning, effort, hard work and worry, go into something like yesterday's festival so, very well done!!!! 

We're sure that this is clearly going to be an annual event

 I just wanted to say how very much Tony and I enjoyed Saturday ~ the hard work and organisation that must have gone into it certainly paid off ~ the weather couldn't have been better and all the bands were great.  We know how hard all those involved with organising it must have worked to achieve such a smooth running day.

Everything was well thought out and we can't wait for next year

 Just a short email to thank you for an excellent day Yesterday, and to congratulate you and the team. The day was an enormous success, and planned and executed to perfection. I hope this is the start of many more similar events in the future. It was fantastic to see people of all ages, both local and not so local enjoying themselves so much.

 Hi there!  Now that some of the dust has settled and a little energy returned I wanted to say again "Congratulations" - and what a fantastic success Saturday was!  From my viewpoint, roughly in the middle, I could see families and friends all around, gathering to enjoy the music, the food, the occasion, while their kids played happily in the sunshine - not a bad tempered word all afternoon, no problem that wasn't sorted almost instantly, and a really happy feel-good atmosphere everywhere!

I can only begin to imagine how many problems you and your team overcame and how many times you must have wondered why you were bothering but well done, you sorted it all professionally and - I imagine - sensitively and the whole shebang went so well I can't imagine any improvements you could think of making.

 Thank you Richard. Just to repeat my comments on the day, I think you and the committee did a superb job and it was a thoroughly enjoyable event. We would be delighted to do a repeat performance if asked. Best regards, Terry

 I would like to thank everybody involved in putting on such a great day.

 The line up was excellent and the organisation superb.

I was really impressed how you managed to arrange the weather.

 I appreciate that an enormous amount of effort goes into such an event.

 We would certainly come again if you were able to arrange another event.

Well done to everybody.

 What a perfect day, thanks to you and the crew.
