Bluesinlondon Needs You!

We're run by just a handful of volunteers and on a no-string budget. As we've become more successful the workload has increased and we just can't keep up, so we need help compiling the gig lists, doing live and CD reviews and with features and promotion.

Read our new 'About Us' page and if your thinking on the blues is along similar lines to us and you think you can help out with anything then get in touch.
