The organiser of the Big Wheel Blues Festival says this year there will be one of the broadest line-ups ever.
Dave McClean is gearing up for the festival launch a week on Saturday. [APRIL 5th]
It always takes place a couple of months beforehand to give people a taste of what to expect.
The launch gig is at the Centenary Centre in Peel, while the main festival will see performances at the Villa Marina and on a stage in Strand Street.
The festival is in its 15th year, and as usual all proceeds will go to the Children's Centre.
Mr McClean hopes the launch will be well supported:
