Nice one Nathan!
AUGUST 31th - MOJO WEBB ADDED TO FESTIVAL LINEUP
Sadly, Doc Span has had to pull out but with our blessings.

Replacing Doc at short notice is the talented Mojo Webb and his band.
A local Brissie talent, Mojo is an extraordinary guitarist, playing Chicago style blues. Mojo is about to release his new album.
