It quickly became known as "Byron Bay Bluesfest" and "The Byron Bay Festival" and is now known as "Bluesfest". At a time when the Maleny Folk Festival (later to be known as the Woodford folk Festival) was only just beginning and festivals such as Big Day Out and Womadelaide did not exist, the Bluesfest pioneered the presentation of blues music in Australia. 2ser is proud to be once again supporting a number of Bluesfest 2012 Sydney sideshows... watch this space for details!! more info at www.bluesfest.com.auBuddy Guy
