About Us

2012 is turning out to be a very busy year for the organisers of Blues at the Fort.

A number of the key people are also heavily involved in a series of events leading up to the Olympics - you may have heard of that !   - so we have reluctantly decided that trying to organise Blues at the Fort as well in 2012 is just too much.

However, keep a lookout for May 2013.


 

Blues at the Fort is teamed with
