Persbericht

The European Blues Union (EBU), a non-profit organization launched by a handful of European blues professionals in 2010, is registered in Brussels, Belgium. Festival and tour promoters, clubs, agents, specialist magazines, radio deejays, journalists, researchers, photographers, blues musicians and communities, independent record companies and distributors, are representing a dynamic scene characterized by idealism, personal commitment and a passion for honest, handmade music. Few music genres may call on such a loyal fan base. To achieve our common purpose of bringing the blues into the public limelight, the European Blues Union has started a major publicity campaign.

The annual European Blues Challenge (EBC) represents one of the organization’s promotional publicity tools. In March 2011 blues artists and bands from sixteen different European countries, winners of the national blues contests, will perform at Berlin’s Kulturbrauerei, an industrial-style venue in a beautiful, historical, late 19th century brick stone building in the heart of Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg district. At the end of a two-day blues marathon, the 2011 winning artist or band will be announced. Legendary blues host Paul Jones (BBC Radio) from the UK will be presenting the EBC.

De Belgische afgevaardigde op de European Blues Challenge in maart 2011 wordt Howlin' Bill.
