You would struggle to find a finer selection of obscure session musicians with tenuous links to real Blues stars.

The budget for this festival must be in the thousands (of baht).

The New Machine plays Pink Floyd?

in a blues tempo?

I'd go if Andy (the promoter) sold tickets for a single day admission instead of selling a two day pass. Two days is one day too much for me.

Session musicians??
Yeah right, Eric Bibb, Charley Musselwhite are pretty obscure (Blues Hall of Fame). If you haven't heard of these guys you obviously know nothing about the Blues.

Suggest you stick with what you know - Kylie? Britney?
