Everybody and his dog will be heading up to Laxey this weekend for the annual Bushy’s Big Wheel Blues Festival.
One of the highlights of the year on the Island, this year sees an even more extensive and varied line up than ever. Loads of stages, loads of acts over three days & nights, it’s a unique event for the Island and not to be missed.
There are all sorts of acts playing including plenty from across the water; we’ll be going to see our local favourites including the Tholtan Builders, the Scope, Stinging With Bigness, Back Door Slam, Danny Christian, Jimmy Tinkler, Jurby Mountain Daredevils, and many others!
For all the info you need visit Official Festival Website, the organisers put a huge amount of work into this so everybody should support it — no excuses!

STOP PRESS – This wasn’t an April Fool, I should have noticed that I posted it on April 1^st!! It’s serious: the gig is real and will be ace 🙂

Ballagroove favourites The Tholtan Builders will be playing support to the ever wonderful John Otway and his full band on Mad Sunday (the Sunday between practice and TT week) in the ‘Stone Field’ at Ballacreggan Farm in Port St. Mary. More details to follow when we can get them, it’s sure to be a great night!!!!
